Post by: bunglycat on June 21, 2008, 00:51:15 AM
hotukdeals.co.uk website have someone on there in the for sale/trades  bit and are selling a ginger and white kitten for £50. >:( :(
I have made a few posts on there and there have been some very sick remarks about it.
I am not happy they are selling kittens on this siter - any advice ?
I have reported it to the mods on there -but they are not very quick to do anything !

Unfortunality you do come across  :censored: on OTHER websites (not this mad cat woman place where were all mad welcome  :evillaugh: )

I came across a site the other day and was so offended by what the were saying about cats, I felt like signing up but in the end thought whats the point in stressing myself out, they are only  :censored: anyway, haters!

so offended by what the were saying about cats,


Those are the bottom end of the  human race, the ones that are missisng brain cells, have been dragged up by unintelligent parents that are all incapable of being educated.  seriously ignorant &  seriously wasting  breath.    Its those 'scraping the barrel'  that think its so cool to talk & act the way they do.

Well , a few choice remarks were made about me for saying it shouldn''t be allowed to sell live animals on a website forum- but there were sick comments about the actual kitten too -which offended me !
I have had a email back saying the remarks have been noted and removed ( not the kitten though , as far as i know - as i have had a one day ban for calling them a------s ! :rofl: which that was a mild comment to what i could have put !!, so cant have a look to see if its still on there today )

I often send emails to the advertisers begging them not to sell the cats/kittens but to offer them to rescues or the RSPCA etcetera instead.  I'm not sure if there is any point and whether it's just adding to the burden of the rescue organisations but it makes me feel better.  I can't believe that sites like Gumtree actually accept ads for animals for sale, but they do

Iv read a few posts on the forum of that site stating  that they are part of ebay group  that allow the selling/bidding  of animals/birds/reptiles etc on all their sites/cities.   The tree site is well on known for puppyfarmers & BSBs

That's the one that came up when I went to look. Is this the ad, bunglycat?

having to sell as son is allergic to him.

He is a lovely kitten who loves to be cuddled and loved."

Personally, I'd be tempted to get rid of the kid rather than the kitten.   :evillaugh:

At least the kitten isn't being given away. Granted I only paid an adoption fee for one of mine, but if I had to find a home for an animal I'd request a donation be made to a local rescue.
