Petition updateKijiji Canada: Stop puppy mills and prohibit the sale of household pets @KijijiKijiji Canada in Top 2015 Animal Welfare Setbacks List

Kijiji says it has no plans to stop breeders from selling animals on its site despite a two-year-long campaign against it. Representatives from the company said they don't see any point in shutting down that category and making people go elsewhere.
But unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills won’t go on classified site UsedEverywhere.com because the company decided to put the safety of animals first and ban the private sale of pets in their online classifieds sites across the country, helping to limit the profits of disreputable breeders who often peddle poorly-treated animals from puppy and kitten mills online.
And unscrupulous breeders and puppy mills won’t go on the classified site BuySellTrade.ca because it also decided to ban the commercial sale of animals. This is great, as it cuts off a major source of income for puppy mills and at the same time boosts animal adoptions in shelters and rescue groups, and reduces euthanasia of animals across Canada. There are too many healthy and friendly animals waiting to be adopted.
@Kijiji : When will you ban the commercial sale of animals and instead promote pet adoption like @UsedCanada and @BuySellTradeCA? Do you want to help those who irresponsibly breed animals for profit or do you want to help pets?
