CBC News reported today that “a Halifax-area man who recently purchased two kittens on Kijiji has a warning for others — that a convicted animal abuser has resumed selling animals using the online classifieds service.”
“Justin Killen said the woman who sold him the kittens was Gail Benoit, who — until recently — was under a court order that barred her from buying or selling domestic or wild animals.”
“That court-imposed restriction has expired, but Kijiji continues to bar her for life from selling animals on its site.”
"After some conversation, we did find out that it was Gail Benoit using her daughter's account." Kijiji said.
Classified sites like Kijiji are unable to distinguish between reputable and certified breeders and those simply profiting from the sale of animals, without regard to their welfare. Moreover, too many users are misled by unethical animal breeders and animal abusers on classified sites and too many animals with health problems, often because of the conditions under which they are raised and bred, are sold on these sites.
If you are a resident of Quebec, please SIGN and SHARE the following petition presented at the National Assembly to regulate the sale of animals on classifieds sites!

For all other citizens, please tell Mr. Pierre Paradis, Quebec Minister of Agriculture, at ministre@mapaq.gouv.qc.ca to revise the conditions for the sale and adoption of animals on classified sites!
Thanks,
