It only takes a few seconds, cry more! It's not like you work or anything!

I'm kidding, as usual. Pigdad is almost certainly one of the people I sent this URL to in order to help us flag.

Please flag that one off as well, I believe selling animals that young is prohibited on craigslist as well.

I hope I did it right.Do you just click the prohibited button? I hope I did the right ones. I think one was the same guy with 2 ads for the same ducklings.

Yes, Just click the word "prohibited". The clickable words should change to say "Thanks for flagging" if you did it right. If you think you got it wrong simply click on "prohibited" again.

Yes, many breeders will put up multiple listings of their animals. Often they use different wording. It's all to try to slow down/confuse the "animal welfare nuts" because they are so used to getting flagged repeatedly.

Often they will simply replace their ads. Sometimes, in their new ads, they will ask people not to flag it because these animals are really "rescues" or "accidental pregnancies". Bullpuckies, it's just a ploy. Flag them again.

White bunny and spotted bunny need new homes - more bunnies (unsure about this one)

Petshop reach-in small pet display containers - probably not against craig's list rules but OMG that is horrible.

Bunny rabbits

Help! How did so many of these get taken down so quickly? I think I flagged them all correctally.I have some I flagged yesterday and they are still up. Please look at the ones I posted and flag them. Some are very obvious breeders. The ducks make me sick, aren't ducks wild animals?
Does anyone know how craigs decides what to take down? is it done by location or is there a central office? Maybe Hawaii is just slow?

Here's one. Rabbits, "all colors all ages", $35.00 adoption (ha!) fee:

I believe it's coded into how their system works. It's not a person actually doing it.

There are multiple forums (including one on craigslist) that sit there and tell each other about things that need flagging. It takes quite a few for something to get flagged, but it's not just us doing it. If something isn't flagged, it's just likely not on their radar for some reason.

If you click on a link and it's still there even after you think we must have flagged it then reload the page. Your computer might be pulling up a cached copy. I just checked the duckling listings and they have been flagged down.
