Summary

eBay has allowed the sale of items ranging from Akita puppies to lynx feet on its website. In fact, eBay has even allowed sellers to post eggs for cockfighting roosters despite the fact that it is a federal crime to allow roosters to be sold across state lines.

Details

• For the past three years, PETA has attempted to have a dialogue with eBay, Inc., officials about the company's permissive policies regarding the auctioning of live animals, animal parts, and various other animal-related items.
• Sadly, eBay Web sites haven't stopped facilitating the suffering, torture, and death of animals and related crimes.
• We've repeatedly shared details of the cruelty to animals rampant in the industries and practices behind the "items" above with eBay executives.
• Nothing has moved them to wash their hands of such suffering.
• Please remind eBay President Margaret Whitman that allowing animals to be tossed onto a virtual auction block shows a callous disregard for their well-being and turns the conscientious consumer away.
• Kindly urge her to do the right thing, follow in the footsteps of competitors such as Amazon, and finally end eBay's sale of all live animals, animal byproducts, and depictions of animal fighting.
