Absolutely disgusting. I don't think they should be allowed to sell animals online like that. There's never any guarantee of where the animals are from and where they're going.

I agree they're not helping. But what can we do? I tried a petition for getting them unallowed to sell animals but it didn't work.

Gumtree must have a policy on sales like that is it worth e mailing the site to see if people who sell/swap animals can have their adverts removed?

The people who run the site must take some of the responsibility for this, it's just appalling that it's still going on. As said neither end of the sale is being vetted, the animals could end up absolutely anywhere, I dont want to imagine really.

ARAs are working on the problem but it takes time, I have signed some petitions also and I am sure they are still open.
