It's that time of year AGAIN. Breeders are trying to sell their "Easter Pets" on
craigslist classifieds: jobs, housing, personals, for sale, services, community, events, forums Breeders are NOT allowed to sell on Craigslist. Sometimes they try to fool the public by saying they are charging an adoption fee but they are still actually selling.
I would like everyone to check their local CraigsList ads daily. At this time of year "Easter" is the keyword to use. You can also search by animal species (rabbit, guinea pig, rat, etc). I also recommend searching with the word "feeder" as many small animal breeders list their animals as reptile feeders.
Find the ads, paste the URLs here (for more members to flag) and don't forget to flag them yourself .
To flag an ad; click on the link, the ad will open (usually in a new window) in the upper right hand corner (sometimes on the left) should be a box of clickable choices, click on "prohibited". That's all you need to do. If enough people flag it it will get automatically removed. If you click the link and it says "This item has been flagged for removal" then it's already down (Hurray!).
Be certain to check under sales, community and services (and if you have time search all sections). Most of the breeders know they aren't allowed to sell on Craigslist and will try to hide their listings a bit so they don't get flagged as quickly.
Unfortunately I'll start us off.
