DOG AUCTIONS LOST FOUND CLASSIFIEDS
Any animal auction of any kind may be a prime place for "laundering" stolen
pets which may end up being a cheap source of supply for industry and government
animal researchers or meat processors. Remember, the U.S. Department Of
Agriculture (USDA) leads the list of those needing research animals for
scientific experiments!
Is it no wonder the government seemingly rarely enforces existing animal
welfare laws unless it is against some derelict person in your neighborhood who
has done some misdeed to some helpless animal?
Dog dealers accused of stealing pets are still allowed to buy and sell
animals at auction essentially without restrictions! The USDA may have somewhat
of a hidden agenda which has been exposed in its failure to enforce existing
animal welfare regulations thus possibly allowing more pets to get stolen!
Did your pet disappear? It may have died a slow, agonizing death at the
hands of a government researcher performing some questionable so-called
scientific experiment for some college student project, consumer product company
or for the government!
If you list your lost pet in the "lost and found" NEVER pay a reward until
you have your pet in hand no matter what anyone tells you or risk losing your
money and not getting your pet either!
Furthermore, if you buy a pet from the "classifieds" the pet seller may
advertise that a certain breed of animal is for sale at say, for example, $50
each. However, when you arrive to pick out an animal from the group or litter
for sale you may then find out that most of the animals are being sold for $100
or more depending on the animals' individual colorings or markings. There may
be one of the animals for sale at $50 but it too may supposedly have already
been sold by the time you arrive. Unlike broadcast advertising, like radio and
tv advertising which has government rules and regulations to follow, in print
and/or Internet advertising you can possibly get away with saying almost
anything to sell a product!
