Mattel/Matchbox have recently released a new product, the Mega Rig Shark Ship.

The product comprises of a shark, a diver with diving cage and parts to assemble a variety of ships complete with large harpoon to kill the shark. It promotes the idea that sharks are man eating menaces, that it is OK to hunt and kill sharks. It teaches children that destroying life is fun.

I have set up a petition at the following web address, asking Mattel to remove this product from their range.

If this makes your blood boil as much as mine, then please, go and sign.

For all you facebook junkies, there's also a cause been set up at the following:

I'll be posting updates on correspondence with Mattel to Facebbok as and when it happens.

Cheers
