John,
We’re fighting to shut down animal sales on Craigslist and stop the suffering and death of animals exchanged over the platform. I know you want to help as many animals as possible, and John, that’s why I’m asking for your strongest support today. Because if we can pressure Craigslist to change its policies and stop allowing the sale of animals, we can save countless lives.
Though Craigslist has officially banned animal sales, animals are routinely sold on its platform. Farmed animals, dogs, cats, lizards, snakes, and more continue to be advertised and purchased on Craigslist under the guise of “re-homing” them, which is still somehow permitted. And these animals often meet a terrible end.
Unethical breeders, puppy- and kitten-mill operators, and animal brokers are exploiting Craigslist’s “rehoming” loophole to sell critically ill animals, who often suffer and die, as well as to dupe families into paying “adoption fees” for animals they never receive. |
Some ads on Craigslist are blatant attempts to acquire dogs for dogfighting or other animals to use as bait animals in dogfighting rings. Other ads leave horses vulnerable to kill buyers who acquire them for the purpose of selling them in other countries for slaughter and human consumption.
Craigslist’s current policy not only puts countless animals in danger, but also places consumers at risk of purchasing unhealthy, nonexistent, or even stolen companion animals.
Craigslist can end the exploitation of animals by banning the transfer of all animals on its website. That is why the Animal Legal Defense Fund is pressuring Craigslist executives to do the right thing and protect animals and people by shutting down sales, but we need your help. Please donate now to help stop animal transfers on Craigslist, save innocent lives, and win justice for victims of animal cruelty. Thank you! |
For the animals,
