Unfortunately, Kijiji is unable to distinguish between responsible breeders and those simply profiting from the sale of animals without regard to their welfare. If Kijiji feels the need to rely on the public to identify and flag problematic ads, it means there is a problem, which is that too many irresponsible breeders are, in fact, posting on Kijij and Kijiji’s staff alone cannot monitor them. Even if Kijiji bans someone from selling pets on their site, these people find ways around the ban by using fake names, different computers, and getting others to post ads on their behalf. Kijiji was aware that convicted animal abuser, Gail Benoit, continued to gain access to its site even though Kijiji banned her. Listen: http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/2686110541/ Is it worth spending this amount of time and resources to scrutinize ads, as well as receiving all the bad press, when Kijiji could be instead spending it to bring together healthy pets with families and shelters who want to give them loving homes?
