Protest mail needed to Ebay

Cross posted with permission from another forum:

please crosspost far and wide. ebay is taking feedback on wether or
not they should allow animals to be auctioned off. please start a
letter writing campaign , post feedback or whatever you can to tell
them how you feel. auctioning off live animals is wrong and just
another venue for the puppy millers....

Do you have a link to a specific announcement that Ebay made on this? I haven't seen anything from them on it.

Pugdawg1 · 12-18-2005, 05:53 PM

Ditto.. I'd like to see where they say or mention this, so I know for sure, without a doubt, that this is factual... then I'll let a letter rip at 'em.

linnie · 12-18-2005, 07:20 PM

Me too I need proof and information and I sure will take action

Here's an email sent that I found on another site that shows links. Don't know if it helps.

PERMISSION TO CROSSPOST FAR AND WIDE GRANTED

NO NO NO NO NO X-(

Please please please don't do this! There are so many Back-yard breeders and Puppy Mills that will go to town on supplying the demand for puppies/animals!

Animals are a big responsiblity, and should be thought out first. People should go to either a reputable breeder or their local SPCA, not buy one from an auction site.

They are LIVING, BREATHING ANIMALS. Please don't do this.

Seems that the majority of people are opposed to this, thank the gods.

I sent my message off too! Geez, what a stupid idea!!

***MazieDog*** · 12-19-2005, 02:11 PM

Ack! I will definitely post my two cents.

I want to strangle the idiot who wrote that animals don't have souls, only humans do. Don't get me started on that person...this is where anger management goes out the window.

I think it was quite responsible of them to actually look at the argument presented to them.
