I would have been horrified going to this flea market too! In Mass. it's not legal to sell animals at flea markets thankfully! There's a rinky-dinky one near me that runs on weekends. Once in a while I pop down there to see how many used toilet brushes & other things no one would pick out of the trash are for sale! Last year I was poking around there on a hot summer day, and noticed a man with several cockatiels on his shoulder. Curiosity got the best of me and I went to look in his van (he wasn't set up there, he would have needed a permit). I was shocked to see several cages in the blazing hot van, one which contained two young kestrals aka sparrow hawks! Glad I had the cellphone near by as I made note of the vans plate # etc. and relayed the details to the authories who tracked him down. It is not legal to own kestrals or any wild bird without proper permits. I never found out what the end result was, but sure hope they were confiscated. I'd make good use of the internet in the case of the flea market you visited. The more noise you make about it, and people you can contact, the better.http://www.ihelppets.com/Prisoners.html Here's a few links I came up with. One sells brochures for a few $ per hundred. It really does start with education. http://www.nopuppymills.com/ another one on "free pets" http://www.petrescue.com/library/free-pet.htm and the oftentimes rotten ending they have. Grrr! Keep us all posted on your crusade! Jan
