29-Day Giving Challenge

I didn't forget to 'give' just forgot to post. Today was not a monetary gift but hopefully one of EDUCATION. After reading another members blog about the freecycle web page I decided to look it up. Boy, was I surprised at all the FREE puppies and dogs on that site. Shame!Shame! on them. I was able to email one gal and explain how some individuals use these sites to get "bait" dogs for dog fighting rings and $$ for themselves in exchange for lab animals. She didn't know about this...and thanked me for informing her. It could have gone the other way. :)

Good to let her know - I certainly didn't....Living in ignorance is a sweet place, but rather be informed and fight for justice!  Thanks for the, albeit sad, enlightenment.

I did read in the freecyle terms and conditions where it said no pets are to be posted. But someone here in my group (city) did just that. The moderator must not have been aware of the posts..not watching..because this gals was only one of many! :(

How alarming! Thank you for this information...I certainly didn't know about the horrific ways of the world like this.

Where was this?! Our Freecycle doesn't allow animals (and I don't think any legitimate Freecycle moderator aware of that issue would ever allow such postings, since the whole point is to help the planet and its inhabitants, regardless of legs, wings, fins, etc.). I'm so glad you contacted her.

Bless you for letting her know and me too...

I am dismayed to know this and just can't think about it. Good on you for alerting her.
