\na disappointing move, eBay has begun allowing people to sell puppies,
\nkittens and other animals through eBay Classifieds. This gives puppy
\nmills and other irresponsible, possibly unlicensed animal producers a
\ngreat new outlet through which to sell their \u201cstock\u201d to unsuspecting
\ncustomers.<\/div>\n
Puppy breeders who sell to pet stores must be licensed by the USDA,
\nbut there\u2019s a gaping loophole in the Animal Welfare Act that allows
\npeople who sell puppies online and through classified ads like eBay\u2019s to
\nget around licensing. Depending on what state these breeders are in, it
\nis legal for them to keep 1,000+ dogs in small cages for their entire
\nlives with absolutely no oversight, and to advertise those puppies on
\nwebsites like eBay Classifieds \u2014 if they continue to allow it.<\/div>\n
In 2005, eBay almost launched a new pet sale section, but there was
\nan overwhelmingly negative response from people who knew it would open
\nthe door for puppy mills to sell even more dogs online, and so eBay
\nnixed the idea, admitting it wasn\u2019t a good one.<\/div>\n
Tell eBay that they had it right in 2005: Selling animals through
\neBay Classifieds is a bad idea because it supports irresponsible
\nbreeding.<\/div>\n
