Kijiji Thwarted in Attempt to Ban Pet Broker

A CBC report earlier today shows the energy some individuals will invest to continue irresponsible behaviors. Clearly, a positive pet experience is unlikely to begin with a delivery that takes place in a parking lot or with a purchase from someone that hides behind third party identities.

Sean McIntyre provides a compelling rendition of the problems faced by Kijiji across multiple episodes with one individual and shows how 'ban avoidance' occurs. Just how the industry can prevent these kinds of behaviors in Canadian communities remains a work in progress. It is likely to be a component of the conversations taking place at the Urban Animal Regional Conference in Halifax just a few weeks from now.

An obvious requirement will be collaborative enforcement activities across the industry and perhaps the kind of standards legislation that has been brought before the BC Government by North Vancouver MLA, Jane Thornthwaite.
