Yes, that IS the problem people don't know, about pup mills, how to find a responsible breeder, often even about dogs or their specific breed until its often too late.
Pup mills, Greeders, etc will always prey on the unsuspecting buyer-I believe most people don't say, "hey I want a pup from a pet store I don't care if I support a pup mill." They just don't know.
Unfortunately, it's hard to find a responsible breeder and most large advertising medias will be dominated by the otherwise unscrupulous.
eBay will NOT be ending their classified adds or section for pets just the listings of livestock (live animals) in their classified ads, we won the fight to stop their live animal auctions and with a few more signers hopefully this one too!
Personally, I wish they'd put up a page
educating people on how to find a responsible breeder and the dangers of getting a pet at a pet store, from an online broker, pup mill, Greeder etc...but I'll settle for winning this small step in the battle against pup mills in the mean time!

It is not like sites like this are created just for puppy mills,they are created for people to find what they want/need,puppy millers take advantage of that.
Also this used to be kijiji and e-bay bought them out they already had a pet section E-bay did not change anything on the site(i go frequently for a lady who sells homemade pet blankets little crochet sweaters)
All that said I do agree and I will sign |
