The sale of animals for profit on Facebook is rampant. No attempts are being made to ensure these animals are going to good homes besides getting cash in hand. Animals are not TVs or bookshelves. These are living, breathing beings.
Help us make it against Facebook guidelines to sell an animal, and instead only allow the posting of "Free To Good Home" posts. People should be required to look into who they are giving animals to instead of being concerned with recouping losses for an animal that should have been a lifetime commitment.
Only licensed non profits should be able to post animals for adoption that require fees.
We, the undersigned, call on Facebook and it's partners to eliminate allowances of selling live animals on Facebook.
We request that only licensed Non Profits and animal shelters are allowed to post animal adoptions that require a fee. Animals should not be traded like electronics, and a fee in no way ensures that an animal will go to a good home.
Please join is in protecting the rights of those who cannot speak so that we may give them a voice.
Facebook, please ban the sale of animals and only allow fee-related animal postings of any kind to licensed nonprofit shelters and foster programs.
