Help Convince Ebay to Stop the Sale of Dogs and Cats!
I sent emails to ebay through the link below. I think this is really important. I know that China's laws regarding animal abuse are nothing new, but the fact that a corporation like ebay not only condones it, but facilitates it disgusts me. I wrote in my email to ebay that I would, as a seller and buyer take my business somewhere else if nothing is done. This is not just an empty threat either. There are other auctions sites out there, some are even dedicated to crafty people like me and are probably a better forum for my items anyway. I use ebay out of convenience and habit mostly. If they are going to allow this to continue then I wont be a part of it. If you think about it just ignoring it and looking the other way makes you almost as guilty as they are. And I know that most people think one or two people can't change anything but those two people can turn into four and those four into eight. So please spread the word if you can. Also, I understand that Paypal is an ebay company and I do plan on closing my account with them as well when I leave ebay. And, I also understand that ebay will most likely do nothing. This was made appearant by the form response I got to my emails. While that sucks, I was prepared for it and will still carry out my promise to leave. Meanwhile I am going to tell as many people as possible.
There is some disturbing footage on this page. If you are sensitive to that then don't press play. Just know that it is horrible enough to warrant some action.

Though eBay has a policy against the sale of dogs, cats, and other animals in the U.S., the company still allows its members in China to sell live dogs and cats, as well as dog and cat fur, which is illegal in the U.S. Please e-mail eBay today to demand that the company stop allowing its site to be used to sell dogs and cats and their skin.
Photos of live animals for sale in China posted by eBay sellers show horrific conditions, including animals chained to cages on the streets and puppies kept in wire-bottomed cages (in the U.S. and other countries, such housing is prohibited by animal welfare laws for humane reasons) and in rusty, barely lit cages with empty water bowls. China's dog and cat fur trade is notoriously cruel. Undercover investigators found that animals were being beaten over the head and skinned alive. A company like eBay shouldn't be supporting this kind of animal abuse.
