Only 7,000 cheetahs remain in the wild -- yet over 4,000 were sold on
Facebook in the last decade! It's like eBay for illegal wildlife, a safe
haven for poachers to also sell tigers, baby orangutans, and other
endangered species. We have to stop them! Facebook is incredibly sensitive
to public pressure, so if we create a massive global call and release a
bombshell media exposé, we could force Facebook to take urgent action. These
gruesome sales are happening right now, so we have to move fast -- add your
name and tell everyone! Dear friends, There are only 7,000 cheetahs left in
the wild -- and yet over 4,000 have been sold on Facebook in the past
decade!And that's just the start. Abused and terrified tiger cubs, monkeys,
bears, and extremely endangered birds have all been found for sale. Along
with a mountain of illegal ivory, pangolin scales, and butchered animal
parts.It's like eBay for illegal wildlife, and sellers are making an
absolute killing!We have to stop them.Facebook is already facing intense
public scrutiny, but stamping out the wildlife trade hasn't been a priority
for execs. But with a massive global call and a bombshell exposé we can
force this issue into the spotlight and make shutting down this gruesome
trade a real priority.After years of campaigning, it's clear that Facebook
only moves when it's exposed in the media -- and together, we can make it
happen in no time! Add your voice and tell everyone you can -- sign now!

Dear friends,
There are only 7,000 cheetahs left in the
wild -- and yet over 4,000 have been sold on Facebook in the past decade!
And that's just the start. Abused and
terrified tiger cubs, monkeys, bears, and extremely endangered birds have
all been found for sale. Along with a mountain of illegal ivory, pangolin
scales, and butchered animal parts.
It's like eBay for illegal wildlife, and
sellers are making an absolute killing!
We have to stop them.
Facebook is already facing intense public
scrutiny, but stamping out the wildlife trade hasn't been a priority for
execs. But with a massive global call and a bombshell exposé we can force
this issue into the spotlight and make shutting down this gruesome trade a
real priority.
After years of campaigning, it's clear that
Facebook only moves when it's exposed in the media -- and together, we can
make it happen in no time! Add your voice and tell everyone you can -- sign
now!
Tell Facebook to shut down illegal wildlife
sales!
The global ecological crisis is threatening
Earth's wildlife more than ever. But now platforms like Facebook are
accelerating the crisis by creating a safe haven for poachers and
traffickers. The animals are often terrorised, malnourished, and most do not
survive the harrowing ordeal.
Wildlife trafficking is one of the most
lucrative criminal industries, worth up to $23 billion a year. Now social
media is creating them unprecedented opportunities to develop an online
marketplace with the opportunity to reach countless new customers.
We have to shut down this bloody trade!
Facebook is already reeling after months of
terrible press, so if we ramp up the pressure with a massive global call,
and expose the sales in world media, we could force Facebook to take urgent,
decisive action. These sales are happening right now, so we have to move
fast -- add your name and tell everyone!
Tell Facebook to shut down illegal wildlife
sales!
Time and again, our movement has come
together to fight for life on Earth, standing side-by-side with nature’s
defenders, and bringing the voices of animals to the halls of power. We all
have a role to play, and tech platforms have to do their part -- we’ve done
it before! This is our chance to protect what we hold dear and win a major
battle against some of the cruellest things humans are inflicting upon other
species today.
With hope and determination,
Ruth, Mike, John, Luis, Christoph, Anneke,
and the entire Avaaz team
