Ratuken own Kobo so it's a simple connection - is question was should do you support a company which makes money lrgally but arguably immorally i.e. which enables the underlying activities by providing an e-commerce platform where people profit from killing endangered species.
It's like: would you have invested in a shipping company in the 1800s if you knew that their profits mostly came from slavery, even though slavery was legal at the time
Or for milder examples: if I shop at Asda I need to accept that I enriching the owners of WalMart : some of the most greedy, selfish & unethical people on the planet.- & when I shop at Amazon I am supporting the use of "zero hours" contracts that the guys who pack my parcel are forced to sign....
PS it's good to see that Ratuken recently blocked selliing whale stuff, after the UN found that there was nothing remotely "scentific" about Japan's "scientific" whale slaughtering
