Attn: rehoming or reselling exotic pets is not illegal in WA
Events
Kirkland WA
Description
Nor is it required to own a license to resell or rehome an animal on cl as a private person. Hell, even if you responsibly breed animals, 99% of people do not care. Then there is the 1%. This one individual is contacting folks on cl and impersonating cl--like the email at the end of this ad. For some reason. Who knows why. It's sorta ironic, because while it isn't illegal to rehome animals in WA, fraud is. So don't let this person deter you from finding your animals new homes and asking for whatever rehome fee you think is fit for your pet. Whether hamster, bird, frog, lizard or betta. Happy bargain hunting --------- Attention: Your post has been automatically flagged by recognition software, and scheduled for removal for the following possible reason(s): It is against craigslist rules to sell pets on this site because it is now illegal since we do not have a state pet shop license under the new Washington state law concerning the selling of pets online. Either you are asking a selling price, or using words that relate to selling, or someone has reported you as a seller, or breeder. Under craigslist Terms Of Use selling pets is prohibited. Only a "small" rehome fee may be requested to insure the pets safety from animal abusers with criminal intent. Our guidlines of what is considered a small rehome fee is based on the current average middle class family income because they make up most of our craigslist users. Currently a small rehome fee for dogs is about $200 or less; A small rehome fee for cats is about $100 or less; a small rehome fee for small caged pets such as birds, or small rodents, etc. is about $50 or less; Aquarium animals small rehome fee is about $20 or less. If selling accessories with the animal then the price must be listed separately from the pet's small rehome fee to avoid being flagged. All other animals that are considered a meat source and state legal to sell must be listed in our livestock category. Reptiles and other exotic animals are prohibited on a state by state basis according to individual state laws. If you want to ask a seller price there are state registered sites, or news paper classifieds, and other options available elsewhere. Thank you for your cooperation, Automated Craigslist Monitor
