Ask eBay to Stop Supporting Puppy Mills<\/h1>\n
FROM Best Friends<\/a><\/div>\n
ACTION<\/div>\n
Tell eBay that they had it right in 2005 and that selling
\nanimals through eBay Classifieds is STILL a bad idea because it
\nsupports irresponsible breeding.<\/strong><\/div>\n
Puppy breeders who sell to pet stores must be licensed by the
\nUSDA, but there\u2019s a gaping loophole in the Animal Welfare Act
\nthat allows people who sell puppies online and through
\nclassified ads like eBay\u2019s to get around licensing.<\/strong><\/div>\n

INFORMATION \/ TALKING POINTS<\/div>\n
In a disappointing move, eBay has begun allowing people to
\nsell puppies, kittens and other animals through eBay
\nClassifieds. This gives puppy mills and other irresponsible,
\npossibly unlicensed animal producers a great new outlet through
\nwhich to sell their \u201cstock\u201d to unsuspecting customers.<\/div>\n
Puppy breeders who sell to pet stores must be licensed by the
\nUSDA, but there\u2019s a gaping loophole in the Animal Welfare Act
\nthat allows people who sell puppies online and through
\nclassified ads like eBay\u2019s to get around licensing. Depending on
\nwhat state these breeders are in, it is legal for them to keep
\n1,000+ dogs in small cages for their entire lives with
\nabsolutely 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
\nthere was an overwhelmingly negative response from people who
\nknew it would open the door for puppy mills to sell even more
\ndogs online, and so eBay nixed the idea, admitting it wasn\u2019t a
\ngood one.<\/div>\n
Thank you for everything you do for animals!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
