Another uh-oh ebay alert!

[paris]

its bad enough they want to sell them and send 2 day mail at this time of year, but they actually advocate letting them loose in a back yard pond....http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=3212&item=4383327922&rd=1
...check out the sellers name too....

 

[pamela]

Hmmmm....should the newts even make it thru shipping, and actually hang out at the pond, how long will the Koi be around?

 

[paris]

something tells me the koi will stay around long enough ...until they run out of newts and have to find other food....

 

[joan]

Thoughtful Jim says "these newts are raised in a natural environment"... like nature... I'd bet my left leg they're raped from the wild, just like cynops.

 

[janice]

Aw. This just makes me sad. I hope someone nice buys them.

 

[joan]

I hope no one buys them. Then he won't have an excuse/incentive to go take more.

 

[paris]

too late joan -they already had a whopping 1.00 bid on them to start...., isnt there a rule against this-hes not selling them for bait

I believe the only animals allowed for sale on ebay are tropical fish and aquatic ornamental snails. I just reported that one to ebay.

 

[joseph]

I can only hope that if that one person manages to steal it the seller will be so discouraged by the low price as to never go through the trouble again.

 

[william]
