Obvious guinea pig breeder, and oh look, they are even in an Easter basket...

I mailed them some scorn as well. It was mean but it made me feel better.

Re: CraigsList Easter Pets

It's time to fight back. Please everyone, join Craigslist (easy and free) and place the following post on it. The Pets section is one of the best places but anywhere you can think is good too.

Give it a Catchy title like I used ;

Easter Bunnies FREE!!!! (the copy and paste the following)

Have I got your attention? Good! There are a few things you need to consider before you bring home that bunny for the kids (or yourself) for Easter.

Contrary to Easter-time hype, rabbits and small children aren't a good match. The exuberance of even the gentlest toddler is stressful for the sensitive rabbit.

Children like a companion they can hold, and cuddle. That's why stuffed animals are so popular. Rabbits are not passive and cuddly. They are ground-loving creatures who feel frightened and insecure when held and restrained. The result of a short-sighted purchase of an Easter rabbit: the child loses interest, and the rabbit ends up <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-7/brandolino-poem.html>neglected or abandoned</A>.

Easter bunnies soon grow large and reach adolescence. If left <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/spay-neuter.html>unneutered</A> they will chew, spray or dig. Many end up <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-7/brandolino-poem.html>neglected or abandoned<A/>. The result? Humane organizations such as <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/>House Rabbit Society</A> see a huge increase in the number of abandoned rabbits after Easter. Help us stop this yearly cycle by educating yourself and others!

Know the Facts.

-Rabbits are not "low-maintenance" pets, and are a poor choice as a <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/children.html>pet for children</A>.
-They have a lifespan of 10 years and require as much work as a dog or cat.
-Your home must be <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/rabbit-proofing.html>bunny-proofed</A>, or Thumper will chew cords and furniture.
-Rabbits must be <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/spay-neuter.html>neutered or spayed</A> or they will mark your house with feces and urine.
-They should <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/faq/sections/housing.html>live indoors</A>, as members of the family.

Clearly, rabbits aren't for everyone. Are you a gentle adult living in a quiet household? If you think you're someone who would enjoy sharing life with a rabbit, please visit your local <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/hrs-info/contacts.html>rabbit-rescue group</A>.

Help Us Spread the Word!
Know someone purchasing a rabbit at Easter? Let them know it's a bad idea. Print out our <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/easter/flyer/childstory.pdf>Children and Rabbits Flyer</A> or <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/journal/3-7/brandolino-poem.html>The Easter Bunny Poem</A> and give them a copy.

Wear a <A HREF=http://www.cafepress.com/hrs>t-shirt sporting one of our Easter messages</A>.

<A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/easter/link.html>Display our Easter banners</A> on your own homepage.

Print out and distribute our <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/easter/flyer/index.html>Easter flyers</A> around town.

Learn about the <A HREF=http://www.makeminechocolate.org/>Make Mine Chocolate!</A> campaign.

Lend your financial support. Make a <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/hrs-info/donation.html>donation</A> or <A HREF=http://www.rabbit.org/hrs-info/joining.html>become a member</A> to help support our cause!

<IMG SRC="http://www.rabbit.org/easter/hrs-banner-easter.gif" BORDER="0"></a>
<!-- End HRS Easter Link -->

All information courtesy of <A HREF=http://rabbit.org/>House Rabbit Society</A>

__________________________________________________ _______
Stop copying/pasting just above that line!

I know it looks wierd but I typed up the HTML code that will work on Craigslist. In the end you should get a post that looks a little like this House Rabbit Society Rabbit Care Guide It won't have the logo at the top or fine print at the bottom and it will have a clickable banner. I'll put up my post once it goes into affect but it's not up yet. All of the info was taken from the HRS website and there are several links that take people straight to the HRS site so all should be good and I know HRS won't mind people spreading the message.

Well it may not be against Craigslist rules but it does not mean I cannot flag them. I just feel that if small cages are advertised as say a guinea pig cage, but I know its way to small, the person that was going to look at the ad may look online and find this website for example. Maybe some find it wrong but I don't want to think of a animal in an inappropriate cage so I flag them, I understand if others won't.

Re: CraigsList Easter Pets

[quote=Biscuit;357613]Reading these is making me an even more hateful person than I was before. Especially the adult and baby guinea pigs and cages with the picture of the smallest cage ever. Sadness.

I agree. I just flagged it. I wanted to email the person and tell them they need a bigger cage among other things. Does anyone know how to do that? Maybe I'm just really dense, it seems like something I should easily be able to figure out.
