pikespooches Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I have been keeping an eye on some local Buy Swap and Sell pages and similar ones, All for pets etc. Many have litter and unwanteds to give away and also byber are accessing these as well. Some adminitrators are doing a good job and putting up there that animas must be chipped prior t give away and or sale but most people are flaunting htis and even disputing this is true. Some admins say it is not my responsibility what people put up there. Hello it is your page so I see it as you are responsible. Now if it is illegal to sell an animal on Ebay why can't it be so on pages like these. OOPs not illegal Danni corrected me on that!! Should we all be writing yo the councils concerned pointing people that are breaking the law? I know many councils dont act upon these laws either. Or should we be reporting these pages and if so under what concern? Edited March 16, 2011 by pikespooches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

efowler Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 I agree its horrible. Just found one the other day called 'wagga just pets', this is the link. http://www.facebook.com/#!/home.php?sk...129791073751357 and this is there intro info about the page; "some people say it is against the law 2 sell dogs and puppies with out micrchipping vaccinating and werming them i know it is but some people cant aford it so on this website i will allow it". Note 'werming'!! Just digusting!! I reported it and posted it on my page to get others to report it but its still up there. Also suspected puppy farmers are utlising facebook. http://www.facebook.com/#!/pages/Puppy...193904807309590 Something needs to be done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kissindra Posted March 16, 2011 Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) I gave up pleading with gumtree staff to moderate their adds as per their OWN rules and policies- it seemingly does not matter how many reports are made they just leave them up there.

Aphra Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Oddly enough, I tried submitting a Gumtree ad for our rescue group and it was rejected on the grounds that I didn't put an age for the dog, even though I was advertising the group and not an idividual dog or puppy. So sometimes they do pay attention to their own rules. I gave up pleading with gumtree staff to moderate their adds as per their OWN rules and policies- it seemingly does not matter how many reports are made they just leave them up there. Pisses me off!

Little Gifts Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Well this just all makes me feel sick. What hope is there for animals to be valued as living, feeling things that need their basic needs met when people are advertising them like unwanted furniture. The one below really got me for some reason: (NAME), i have tried inboxing u twice, not sure if u are receiving them or not. I would like to get in touch with u as i might be going to parkes on thursday and i may be interested in getting 1 or 2 of the kittens. cheers nichole Monday at 10:52pm · LikeUnlike. Yep, might get one. Or two. Not pre-planning. I'll decide on the day if I happen to be passing by your suburb. You can bet someone like that isn't going to fork out money on desexing! I feel this is worse than people seeing a cute animal in a pet shop window! These people are pursuing animals sight unseen and with the smallest bit of info about them! They are making a decision about these animals lives even though their interest will move on to some other interesting online thing in 5 mins time. Seroiusly, I could vomit right now. This can't be ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikespooches Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 It is not ok but no one seems to know what to do, who to approach, etc!! Heartbreaking! I saw another couple one re rare cream and BC puppies $800. Not registered not even chipped and the black adn white ones from the same litter $500. And another one with rare Yellow BCs. I agrued with a byber about rare Blue Staffies and how they are charging more for them. More than a registered breeder. It just goes on and on.

HugUrPup Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 (edited) I went looking for these groups/pages on FB and can't see them. Maybe they have been removed?

KKDD Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 I thought it was actually illegal (in NSW at least) to sell pups at less than 8 weeks of age? If this is the case, facebook is assisting an illegal act by allowing such advertisements. I dont see that would be any less the case than if someone was advertising for sale other illegal products, such as prohibited drugs, or certain types of porn.....

Little Gifts Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 How are you finding them all PP? Do you have some kind of search term thing set up? Could it be worth bombarding these sites with statements to make a buyer think they might be getting ripped off or wasting their money? That's the only reason I can see that would put a person off. I was thinking things like "Blue staffies are not rare. Follow this link to see how common they are (and put a link to the DOL for sale page for staffy pups)" or "Buy one from a breeder for half the price here (and put a link to the DOL for sale page for that breed)" or for cats something like "It only costs $100 to desex a cat. It will cost you $300 to raise a litter of kittens if you don't." Obviously I just made the prices up. Or "If your dog gets out and it isn't microchipped, desexed and registered it will cost you $300 to get it back." Again I made the prices up. Or "Even if you only feed your dog PAL it will cost you $800 a year to feed it." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maddy Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 Hi Kxxx. The mother is a red x blue healer father is a german shepard x lab All those ACD breeders who get "red heeler" puppies out of "blue heeler" dogs are clearly involved in some sort of evil breeding magic. Next thing you know, horses will be coming out whales. Horses that aren't just healers but proper doctors. I think I'd find these ads somewhat less offensive if the people churning out these poor creatures actually took the time to learn a little about them. Back on topic.. given some of the other content on Facebook, I'm not surprised people are using it to sell animals. I probably still wouldn't be surprised if people started using it to sell their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_PL_ Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 They don't remove dog-fight content in a hurry. I just don't see FB getting upset about the swap/sell or Aus microchip laws. But if they charged a fee to individuals using the site to sell and trade animals I bet a lot would disappear overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
