Title: SomeOfUs Vs Sainsburys and the vacuuming of Krill

Sainsbury's is supporting the plunder of the Antarctic and one of the last unspoiled oceans on the planet.

One of our largest supermarkets is selling Antarctic krill oil as a health supplement. Krill are vacuumed in vast quantities from the Antarctic Ocean and pumped into pills. By doing this, Sainsbury's is putting the entire Antarctic ecosystem at risk, but we can stop it.

If it's true then they need to stop doing it.

Not very impressive is it - have Sainsbury's been asked to stop selling this and refused?

I've heard nothing aboout this and given our normal environmental values I'd be amazed if this were true but I will check it out tomorrow.
