Please help stop the sale of dead animals, body parts and frozen animals. What eBay is allowing it be sold through their company is appalling. The fur trade has taken over eBay as well.
Protect R Wildlife is trying to make a difference. www.ProtectRWildlife.org
Domestic and wild animals are being equally abused. One teenager was selling dead cats and killing them just to sell. Please help stop this!
EBay has become one of the largest companies for buying for the public on line. Someone needs to carefully monitor them.
They need a better system of spotting these sale submissions before they go to the list, rather than have individuals and groups find the animal items and complain. Usually the item(s) are already sold by the time something is done about it. The sellers just keep changing their identity!
We need help from as many of you and your friends as possible. Many of our Protect R Wildlife members search eBay for animal supplies almost daily, and while searching under pet topics, wildlife topics, etc. we have found numbers of sellers with puppy tails, raccoon hands, opossum pinkies, one man had dog paws as key chains! Also a teenager was selling dead cats (satanic as it turned out), several calling themselves a taxidermist are selling frozen wildlife or chopping their feet off for coat hooks. Many of these people have been stopped by locating where they're from and contacting the local SPCA's.
The worst is a guy that sells under the pin name of "headhunter". Each time they shut him down he changes his name and lists body parts for sale again. Some of our members have had some very heated emails from some of these people once they learned who was behind getting them off eBay. The only way to stop this once and for all is to sign this Petition to Ebay and ask for the sale of any dead animals, animal parts and even furs be stopped.
As always, strength is in numbers so please pass this petition to everyone you know to stop this.
eBay is a huge money-making company and can survive without making a profit off of people who kill for the almighty dollar!! One eBay seller told a member it was easy to "kill for money, he didn't break a sweat"!

We feel that eBay should not be selling animal-cruelty items. We have asked eBay to remove these items countless times, but the company needs to hear from individuals like you. I encourage you to sign this Petition that will go to:
Pierre M. Omidyar
Chairman
eBay.com Inc.

Thanks to you all for any help you can give with this!
