Ew i find this beyond sick

[Peta]

Wow, you guys have this guys e-mail ... heheheh :54: I ain't gonna do nuthin' ... I promise ... well, maybe ...

I'm with you here Tex, doing nuthin ..................... :16: yeah right.......................... Can't you just see that email addy jumping out to you and just crying to be written to.

Tracy, yeah I think that it would be an idea to start on this so called "Bird Ranch" it certainly sounds like somewhere that needs to be shut down, and burnt to the ground. Oh if only I were closer!!!!!!!!!!

 

[apbdt]

that is so sad. to bad someone doesnt try to do something about. I do think someone needs to be contacted and an investigation needs to be done to this "farm"

 

[meghanxx4]

ya i think they should investigate this guy!

 

[Peta]

Well guys, we got the stuff taken off ebay, now lets see if we can't get something done about this farm. Easier said than done maybe.

Each and everyone of you should be real proud of yourselfs. I know I feel honoured to know every single one of you.

Srry to break it to you people, some one told me about another person selling bird skins.. it looks to be only one.. but heres the link anyway:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Exotic-Feathers...097643938QQcategoryZ44913QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

[CAUTION VERY DISTURBING AND SICK]... dont worrey its not porn lol.

 

[Minzer84]

It seems like no matter what, these sickos are out there...what's wrong with people?!

 

[Tracy842]

Off to complain again, why do they let this stuff go up.

 

[birdcrazy]

I've seen those too but to me the body parts were above all else. Someone said those skins were love birds. I don't know yes it bothers me and yes I don't think it's right, and yes I think we should complain. But for some reason two complete (almost complete) bodies don't bother me as much he did state they were fly fishing. All I'm saying is it doesn't appear to be one person selling tons of items. If your bird dies and you want to sell it fine i wouldn't do it but that's your business but if you are mutilating the parts like remains4u was doing that's a whole other story. I'm not condoning what this person is doing I'm just saying I don't get the impression that he's a sicko like the other guy was ignorant yes but if you look at his products they are an assortment of fishing gear. So at least it serves a purpose.

Actually, Kell, if you read it again it says that the feathers could be used to make flies for fly fishing ...

Man, are we going to have to police eBay? I just reported this new item ...

Ugh! And in this guys post he says that it's from overseas. And look what I found on E-bay:

USFWS Import/Export Licenses: All importers and exporters of wildlife must file with the USFWS a completed Declaration for Importation or Exportation of Fish or Wildlife (Form 3-177).

Now I highly doubt that he got an import/export license to sell parts of a dead bird.

And yes I do know that it says Wildlife...but once again, how do we know this bird wasn't caught in the wild and then slaughtered to make the seller $9.99?

 

[Peta]

I'm getting back in touch now, Did ebay really think that we wouldn't find this or do anything about it. Well we've done it once we can do it again.

 

[karen]

Well done u guys. I just wonder ..sadly.. if that is what is openly going on what else is going on out there.
Lets face it children get "sold" snuff movies get made, society can be pretty blind when it is not directly affected. Factory farming is legal.. However knowing that there are people out there willling to do something, people who are not scared to care ,feeds my faith. On behalf of all the birds hacked up for ££and $$ thank you.

 

[birdcrazy]

WEll guys congrats on another victory! those pigmy skins have been taken off as well everything is purely feathers now!

 

[meghanxx4]

Yay thats awesome!

 

[Peta]

Well done everyone, It makes me so happy when I see everyone come together and make a difference. Yep there's still gonna be idiots like these we've encountered on ebay but little by little we can make difference and thats what matters. Hopefully one day we can stop man from taking these wonderful creatures out of the wild, wouldn't that be something.
