Stop selling coral

Pondok Indah Mall in South Jakarta last weekend organized a display and sale of coral in various sizes worth millions of rupiah. Let us hope it was imitation coral, because it takes millions of years to form the habitat of such marine biota, which, in turn, is important to humans.

I am sick of this psychopathic behavior shown by all those concerned: Businessmen, mall operators, buyers and relevant authorities. Have they no feelings of guilt or shame whatsoever?

Therefore, I request that the legal authorities file lawsuits against and demand compensation from the parties involved in the coral trade, who should obviously be responsible. People sharing my view should unite and launch class action for the same purpose.
