@farbel @dwnsdp It’s unusual for FedEx to bend to liberals. There must have been tremendous pressure on them. FedEx was founded by a die-hard right-wing veteran & the corp is stubbornly fixed on right wing principles. FedEx was one of very few that would not back down against the #TakeAKnee NFL movement. FedEx is an ALEC member and it ships slave dolphins, #sharkfins, and hunting trophies -- a nightmare for environmentalists.

UPS is also ALEC but not as committed to rt-wing policy as FedEx.

@soc_i_ety @SharonGibson3 @flexghost Indeed legislators need to act. But what about *us*? Every disaster should have a #boycott list pinned to it. For every shooting, ppl should boycott #FedEx for a week (I would normally say 1 month, but there are enough shootings that 1 week would suffice). #FedEx gives #NRA discounts, finances #ALEC, finances #RAGA, ships #sharkFins, hunting trophies, & slave dolphins. #BoycottFedEx.
#Europa ist führend beim Export & Umschlag von #SharkFins.

Aber das kann sich ändern: Mehr als 1.180.000 #EU-Bürger*innen haben die #ECI #StopFinningEU unterzeichnet.

@realcaseyrollins @thenewoil @freemo I've seen photos of hundreds of sharkfins getting ready to ship in open crates. When the shark finning happens in a 3rd world country of orgin, they have no need to hide them. FedEx knows they're shipping #sharkfins.
@itnewsbot FedEx ships #sharkfins, slave #dolphins, & hunting trophies. FedEx is an #NRA-supporting #ALEC member who finances #republican politicians. Boycott #FedEx & #boycott #Microsoft.
@news_en Reminder: #FedEx still ships #sharkfins. Boycott them.
FedEx, who's response to those angered by their involvement in shipping #sharkfins has always been "we follow the law", may finally be getting a law to follow: https://truthout.org/articles/following-house-approval-us-has-a-chance-to-ban-the-cruel-shark-fin-trade/ #boycott #FedEx
Following House Approval, US Has a Chance to Ban the Cruel Shark Fin Trade

Sharks are killed 30 percent faster than they can reproduce, including for the inhumane fin trade.

Truthout

@DesCoutinho
Incidentally, in studying FedEx wrongdoing I've found that FedEx ships slave dolphins for those who abuse animals for entertainment (e.g. SeaWorld). FedEx also ships #sharkfins & hunting trophies. FedEx competitors do not. So ethical ppl #boycott #FedEx.
