Right. I have been boycotting Nike myself for years because I was runner and I thought they just plain made horrible products! So my boycott was totally related to that fact that the crap they produced.... was crap! Sometimes it takes a particular aspect of an issue to get people galvanized. Sadly, sweat-shop conditions and child labor in third world countries is so out-of-sight-out-of-mind for some people, they just don't care. That's wrong, but I'd like to think that if you add one more reason to the already extensive list that hits them closer to home, maybe you will get some of the most reluctant of the reluctants to participate...for once!

Subject: Re: OT: Really good article about Nike and VickHoney, Nike has been using child labor and sweat shop like conditions the production of their products for decades...Human Rights & fair trade groups have been at them since the late eighties....I really don't think they're going to care about an animal rights issue. Nike cares about Nike's profits...that's it...I've been boycotting them for 15 yrs...I don't think they care or even feel it, but I wish you all the luck in the world.T
