Yahoo! Invests in Shark Finning
Sea Shepherd Conservation Society was recently alerted to Yahoo! Inc.'s investment in the deplorable shark fin industry. Yahoo! is a 40% owner of Alibaba, a Chinese company that trades in shark fins and contributes to the senseless and agonizing deaths of sharks worldwide.
Sea Shepherd has received numerous inquiries in recent weeks about the removal of its listings from GoodSearch and Freelanthropy Search, search engines that contribute a portion of the proceeds from each search to the nonprofit organization of the user's choice. Regrettably, these search engines are powered by Yahoo!, and despite its support of their mission in theory, Sea Shepherd simply cannot in good conscience benefit from a company such as Yahoo! that invests in the despicable shark fin industry.
In September 2007, Sea Shepherd Founder and President, Captain Paul Watson, wrote a letter to the President of Yahoo! asking, "Is this the legacy that you want Yahoo to leave-the destruction of the world's sharks for shark fin soup in China?" He did not receive a reply. Sea Shepherd urges its supporters to voice their opposition to shark finning by writing a letter to Yahoo! and its partners. Tell them you will not use their services until they STOP condoning the violent murder of innocent sharks.

i love yahoo. also shark fin soup too!
u gotta try it b4 u flame me.
but on the real though. how many people will care, not to offend or anything, but a majority of people u ask will not know about it or wont care. just try it, ask anyone in the street. ive seen how the practice is done pretty gruesome. they catch the shark on a rope and hook, cut the fins then throw them back, and the sharks have no way to become mobile but simple sink and die. im a investor in in yahoo, so u guys think i should sell my stocks from yahoo they just went up like 2% today.

next to the home icon on your explorer bar there should be an arrow click on it and it will offer the option to change your home page, cut and paste the URl of the page you want to be your new home page into the slot provided.

ok easier route, open controll panel, open internet options. under the tab marked General it should have an open box for home page settings, cut and paste the URL of your new home page into that box, then click the "apply" button on the bottom.

just explain in a reasonable manner why you prefer not to use yahoo or its affiliates, if he doesnt want SWF as his home page, try and reach a compromise with him. he may be just as offended by the shark slaying as the most of us are.
