I'm not sure if it's just one person or a group of people who are trying to scam people out of their money but there have been a lot of posts recently advertising one or two animals of the same breed with only one or two pictures. They always have a different story but it always involves a shipping fee. They will "give the animal to you for free" and "you just have to cover the shipping costs". They normally have a weird phone number with a weird area code and an obscure outlook email. Lets make an effort to ban these posts and PLEASE don't fall for any kind of situation where you are wiring or giving money without seeing the physical animal itself first.

Here are a couple links:
http://merced.craigslist.org/pet/ html
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pet/ html
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/sfc/pet/ html

These are only a couple but if you ever come in contact with someone like this, PLEASE spread the word, let others know and FLAG FLAG FLAG.

Also please be mindful, craigslist has a NO ANIMAL SALES OR BREEDING POLICY!! San Francisco and many other cities have made a huge effort to have people neuter/spay their dogs and cats because there is such an overwhelming overpopulation of stray animals. These domestic animals all still need loving homes while backyard breeders are endlessly contributing to the problem!! Please help the community and stop these backyard breeders who want to make a couple quick bucks off an animal's life. This is considered ABUSE. Many of these pups are breeded with no concern of their health and are often times breeded in cramped, unsanitary conditions. Keep in mind, even if breeders ARE responsible about their pups, even if they do have papers and they want to keep in touch etcetera, it doesn't mean anything. They are still contributing to a much bigger problem. SELLING ANIMALS ON CRAIGSLIST IS STILL PROHIBITED.

TL;DR Basically any animal priced above $200 is considered animal selling/breeding, which is NOT allowed on craigslist. PLEASE FLAG AND SPREAD THE WORD.

Thank you all, you guys are all helping and each flag means we are a step closer to minimizing animal breeding! :)
