      Not that violence against humans is essential for a region to become boycottworthy. On the ethical consumer website’s list of “progressive boycotts”, campaigners also argue for boycotts on Alaska (wolf-killing) and Canada (for seal-killing, seafood), on Japan (whales) and Mauritius for exporting live primates.
