GET BACKYARD BREEDERS AND PUPPY MILLS OFF FACEBOOK

  • by: G Deveney

Facebook has been a godsend to puppy mills and backyard breeders . Although pet stores are becoming more careful about where they get their pets, anybody can advertise in the Facebook marketplace section, and this includes people involved in cruel and sometimes illegal practices.

A quick search of Facebook reveals countless sellers that show all the signs of being puppy mills - i.e. lots of breeds for sale, high-pressure sales speech and no indication the seller plans to check out the new home.

. It is time that Facebook banned the sale of pets. Puppy mills, dubious backyard breeders should not have such an easy way to make money.
We the undersigned ask that Facebook show genuine corporate responsibility by banning the sale of live animals. At the moment, the Facebook marketplace section is full of highly dubious breeders selling all manner of animals. Many of the sellers are almost certainly involved in extremely cruel and possibly illegal practices. Since it would be almost impossible for Facebook to police the sale of animals, we ask that a universal ban on the sale of live animals be introduced immediately.
