I just heard from My cat list that Wal Mart is selling live animals on their "classified" site. Over the internet. I didn't even know they had one. But the people on the cat lists are writing to them and telling them to take live animals off. This does promote puppy mills, and cat mills. I think i just pulled up Walmart classifieds and got it.
Please Please write and them NO Live Animals

here you go.  Another reason to boycott Wal-mart.

What caused Ebay to no longer allow the sale of pets?

I'm not defending them just putting out information. Don't forget its not Walmart that is selling animals. Our local paper has ads like these every day. I don't think its possible to stop classified ads anywhere unless you get rid of backyard breeding and spay & neuter all animals. Not an easy feat.

I agree on that. I don't worry too much about the reputable breeders being on there since they also have their own websites, but I think most are backyard breeders. I noticed that the ads also link back to the original paper ad. I noticed that our Weimaraner Rescue group has a few on there. I know for a fact we screen very well and it would have to be local so we can go visit the home and make sure the dog will do ok.

Thanks for letting us know about this.  I looked at the classifieds and I don't like much of what is there.  I don't think Walmart is equipped to screen the ads as far as what is responsible and what is not.

I wrote them.  This is the contact page.  The first email "Wal-Mart Customer Service & Feedback"  will get the form you want and you can select the corporate office as the destination,  rather than your local store.  There is also a phone number further down the page, "Wal-Mart Ethics" if someone prefers to call.
