Every day animals are sold or given away on craigslist to unfit owners or outright abusers and murderers. Owners who are unqualified to run background checks or to conduct interviews are handing over innocent lives to people who commit horrible acts of abuse and violence against them. Many of these animals end up being used to "train" fighting dogs to be vicious and to kill. Many of these animals are tortured and murdered. The adoption process of these animals should be left to the professional rescue groups such as those found on petfinder.com who most times will place your animal on their website. Please leave the adoption process to the professional groups in your area who will advertise and review applications for you. Join in this petition to help stop unqualified and unknowing people from handing their animals to someone who will abuse or murder them. Check petfinder.com to see a list of your local rescue groups.
