Ebay had an advert/lot for kittens for sale.

Thank God, that a friend from an English Cat site saw the lot and complained to Ebay and asked for help on an English forum.
Seeing as I'm a nosey person, I rang the seller and had the phone rung up on me.
So I rang his mother...that is right his mother.
Turns out teenage son with unspayed cat, thought advertising kittens on Ebay would be an easy way to shift unwanted kittens :mad:
I explained to Mother that if she needed help spaying mother or transporting kittens to the shelter of their choice free of charge, Me & Steve would help.
I also explained the reason shelters charge so much for kittens and what happens to a lot of cheap kittens. i.e. Sold to labs, used as dog bait or most common a kitten mother pregeant and on the streets.
I am just so angry. I have complainted to Ebay. But I am literally shaking with rage. But for the grace of god, where would those kittens be. :mad:
PS. Ebay has added an amendment to bid, saying don't buy this lot but they haven't closed the lot.
