Celebrities, politicians and animal welfare experts call on eBay to take action against the cruel puppy trade
Ricky Gervais, Joanna Lumley and Dame Judi Dench join a long list of high-profile animal advocates who have signed our letter to eBay Inc. calling for the company’s classified ad sites to stop enabling the cruel puppy trade.
They join over 210,000 FOUR PAWS supporters worldwide who signed our Thanks eBay petition.
This week marks the one-year launch of our campaign, which unites animal advocates, veterinarians, politicians and animal welfare experts around the world in the call for greater regulation of the online puppy trade.
