  This makes me SO sad! I flagged them on Craig’s List – how could you show cute pictures of adorable babies that you are going to freeze for dog food? This can’t be legal…right? Although…when I got my rabbit I was told that they had to sell them for over $40 because if they didn’t people bought them for snake food. It just makes me so sad.

  Unfortunately, rabbits are considered livestock so it is legal as long as they are “humanely killed”. Stay far, far from craigslist to avoid being upset, especially around Easter.

  Luckily the post was flagged and removed.
  
  As a reminder, here is the BinkyBunny Forum rule on Craigslist ads:
  
  C. Craigslists Ads: Please don’t repost or copy and paste, or link to Craigslist ads that are focused on individuals who are looking to rehome their bunnies. If you spot a Craigslist ad that grabs your attention and tugs at your heartstrings, you can always contact the poster and offer up this site as a resource for education.
  
  I understand that this particular post is not exactly about finding a home, but we do ask that forum members don’t link to these posts.

  Oh, I read that and took it as just referring to homes. Might want to be be reworded in the forum rules. Just a suggestion not a snarky comment. Promise. I read the forum rules to check and didn’t think it was wrong.
  
  Anyways – I flagged and reported it and got this response from the SPCA:
  
  While Internet technology has made a positive contribution to our society, it has also resulted in the rapid expansion of publicity for individuals who promote animal abuse. This is very troublesome to us at The ASPCA and we are exploring various responses to animal cruelty on the Internet.
  
  Therefore, The ASPCA encourages concerned citizens to write the various Internet service providers, which host these websites that advocate animal abuse. You can find the address of the provider by connecting with the following website: http://www.networksolutions.com and inputting the name of the website. We also suggest that you contact local and national media organizations to make them aware of these sites. Finally, you may want to write the on-line providers with which you regularly do business to encourage them to screen their own sites and not allow websites, which promote animal cruelty.
  
  Furthermore, if you have concrete information that the individual has moved beyond words to criminal actions and you know the city in which this web-site creator lives, the most effective response remains with traditional measures.
  
  Interesting topic. It’s sad that the world can’t keep up with technology.
