action alert!

The popular photo-sharing website Instagram allows the sale of animals through their site, and sometimes those photos are even marked with tags that indicate ritual sacrifice and slaughter.

Tell Instagram to Stop Allowing the Sale of Animals!

Dear Indra,

Instagram is a great place for cat photos. But it's not so great when those cats are being sold for profit and with not-so-noble intentions. Tell Instagram to crack down on live animal sales.

Many users have turned their profiles into advertisement sites for live animals, and some even indicate the purpose of the animal to be slaughter or ritual sacrifice. This is wrong for obvious reasons, but even more innocent animal sales can encourage careless breeding and cruelty towards animals.

Instagram's terms of use have no guidelines for advertisements of items for sale, and don't say anything about animal sales. It's time they took action and banned the sale of live animals through their site. Please sign the petition today!
