Guest guest Posted March 4, 2005 Report Share Posted March 4, 2005 Greetings. At The San Francisco SPCA, we have been receiving many email complaints about eBay allowing the auctioning of live domesticated animals [mostly purebreds] on their eBay China website. China is the only country where eBay allows the live animal auctions, as they say it is " culturally acceptable " because " most " transactions end up with people meeting face-to-face so the animals are not being shipped. eBay is located just south of SF in San Jose, CA, so I guess people are hoping The SF/SPCA can help find a solution. We would like to try. As an animal welfare organization, we know that irresponsible breeders and poor pet-owner matchmaking is a large contributor to animals ending up in shelters. We work very hard to get that message out and know that your organizations do too. I am hoping someone there could tell us if they feel eBay's policiy is contributing to pet-overpopulation and relinquishment in China.

Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 I storngly feel it is wrong for Ebay to allow this. Maybe we should all try and email Ebay to put an end to this practice. - " kjaffie " <kjaffie <aapn > Friday, March 04, 2005 11:38 AM eBay Live Animal Actions in China > > > > Greetings. > > At The San Francisco SPCA, we have been receiving many email > complaints about eBay allowing the auctioning of live domesticated > animals [mostly purebreds] on their eBay China website.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I checked some pet sellers on eBay China. They delivered the animals all over the country by air or bus. It's very dangerous for the baby pets to get infected by virus or injured during the delivery. That's really irresponsible for the lives. I think media exposure of the disadvantages of buying a pet from online will teach some buyers lessons and world protest against eBay will help.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Hi Irene, Do you think a wide spread puplicity campain in U.S. and Canada of what e bay is doing in China, might cause them to think again about what they are doing? It might also educate alot of people about what is going on w domestic animals in China and maybe might shame ebay into conducting its business more humanely? What do you think? Alot of people use ebay and alot of them love their dogs.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Dear Silvia, I agree with your suggestions. It will be better if some ebay visitors voluntarily boycott the website for a fixed period. I can provide you materials on pet animals in China with photos of the abandoned cats and dogs.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 Hi.. I've been following this thread, and although I'm not sure if Ebay allows each country's ebay to have their own set of rules or not, the policy of ebay is that NO LIVE ANIMALS CAN BE AUCTIONED. Everytime I, or friends of mine, find live animals being auctioned on ebay, we turn them in - and almost immediately, the auction is removed. This has always been ebay's policy to my knowledge. Because of this policy, a new live animal auction service has sprung up on the internet - animal welfare/rights groups are all over them. ~Kim Petersen, Okinawa > Hi Irene, > Do you think a wide spread puplicity campain in U.S. and Canada of what e bay is doing in China, might cause them to think again about what they are doing?

Guest guest Posted March 15, 2005 Report Share Posted March 15, 2005 Hi Irene, If ebay doesnt allow live animal auctions how come it is happening in China? Are there animal rights groups that can monitor the situation? Thanks for the offers of the photos. If you would like to send them I could maybe use them for future reference. I dont think my computer could handle to many, but a few would be helpful. Thanks for bringing this issue to our attention.
