As sad as this is. It's not craiglist's fault.
the people posting their pets for sell will find another way to sell them and the people who wants the animals for abuse will find a way to get them.
It's not the responsibility of craiglist to make sure the animals are save.
It's the responsibility of the people selling them. |
I totally agree :-)
Plus I also think its much easier to get an animal from our many many shelters here in California and a lot cheaper. In California it's illegal to adopt out black cats at Halloween because of the many horrible things that happen to them.
The rehoming fees here in Cali are much much higher than what the shelters charge for adoption. I gave $400 to save Gizmo from a byb that was willing to let him die. First the rehoming fee was $300, and once she seen how determined I was to get him to a vet, she demanded another $100. The thing is she knew as soon as I checked his gums and seen they were pitch white, and that he wouldn't awe up, and I knew he was near deaths door, she knew I would give it to her to save him.
The shelters on the other hand here charge around $75 max to adopt a dog and let the people take them, without being fixed, giving them. Coupon for free spay or neuter, so which is worse? The people dong these things to these animals are responsible, and we can only try to help as much as we can. The stark reality is nothing will stop these people unfortunately, they will just find a new avenue to accomplish their goal :-(
