*[Enwl-eng] Endangered taxidermied bats are being sold as halloween decorations

[enwl]

                        The illegal bat trade is threatening their 
conservation.









                        Ban the Sale of Endangered Bats on Etsy, eBay, and 
Amazon

                        In the shadow of illegal wildlife markets, a 
lesser-known but disturbing trade flourishes. The online sales of bat 
taxidermy — including the endangered Kerivoula picta — are marketed as 
decorative items on platforms like Etsy, eBay, and Amazon. This trade not 
only violates international conservation laws but also fuels the decline of 
species crucial to our ecosystems.



                        Sign the petition to urge Etsy, eBay, and Amazon to 
do better at stopping the illegal sale of endangered bats online!



                        Kerivoula picta bats, also known as painted woolly 
or fire bats, are brightly colored and strikingly patterned. 
Conservationists cite online demand for these bats is one of the primary 
threats driving their decline in their natural habitats across Asia. To make 
matters worse, sellers often mislead consumers with claims of sustainable 
sourcing. Sign the petition to demand the CEOs of Etsy, eBay, and Amazon to 
enforce policies against the sale of  threatened wildlife, and penalize the 
sellers who violate these policies!




                 Thank you,

                        Jess

becoming mere decorations. Sign the petition!
