That's just disturbing.

Isn't there a law against killing stingrays? Can't they just strack this guy down from his e-bay account and arrest him?

Smile opinions and belly buttons- we all have em

I dont know about the laws and species.... but many people eat rays and skats and sharks
My Korean Godmother and I used to catch em and make yummy eggrolls


Maybe he eats em too? Why not sell the left-overs? I mean its not like the listing says anything about killing it in revenge for the croc hunter. These things have been getting killed for many many many years, now when someone does it people have an opinion.

well people will buy anything, and as long as they do people will sell it. It says 'taken from a live stingray' That's a little cruel I think.

The leather shops here sell sting-ray leather (or at least that's what it looks like, some type of ray).

You can clip stingray barbs while they are alive...they actually grow back like our fingernails.

I have an opinion because this seller is trying to profit from the croc hunters death. These barbs have probably always been on sale, but to use the death of Steve Irwin to promote their item is just disgusting!!!

Exactly I remember a counselor at a summer camp had a whole necklace. From catch/release stingrays.
