stop the advertising and selling of animals on facebook
I believe that no animals should be sold or advertised on selling sites on facebook. Animals are being treated as disposable items that can be easily sold on when no longer wanted.
Breeding is becoming an even more serious business as animals are easily sold. This is causing over breeding when animal rescue centres are already full.
There is currently a huge rise in animals being used for fighting and bate which is being fueled by the ease of access to animals.
Animals would hopefully have more of a chance of going to a life long, safe home if some thought had research had gone into finding them. Not just seeing a cute picture on a local selling site that you could pick up that same day on the spur of the moment.
By reducing the quickness of being able to get a pet we would also reduce the amount of illegally imported animals being brought into our country.
Ebay bans the selling of animals, so should Facebook.
