Tell eBay: Stop selling live animals online! Abuse is possible!

Let’s help people realise that selling animals online or advertising them as "free to a good home" is wrong in so many ways! There is no way to verify the new home – your animal could be subject to abuse, including being used as a "bait dog." This is when the animal is starved for a week, cut open, and thrown to two starving dogs while still alive! I need your help to stop these terrible abuses - I know you would never let your own pets end up like this. Let’s tell eBay and other online giants not to sell animals on their websites! I don’t intend to let one animal down - do you?
We have signed this petition to stop ebay, Gumtree, and social networking websites from selling animals or listing them as "free to a good home". These animals are not a second hand toaster, but the sellers have no idea where or with whom these animas are ending up! For years this practice has led to abuse – even starving animalsand feeding them other “bait dogs” or “bait cats. Please stop this abuse, and don’t sell animals online – thank you!
