It would really mean alot to me if everybody could sign and share this petition as far and wide as they can (Email, Instagram, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter etc).
Apparently the life of two animals (a cow and a fox) is only worth $7.50 on eBay. If we can make stores go fur free then who's to say we can't make eBay do the same? Fur is murder!

I can't believe what is being sold on ebay - it is so wrong!! What is wrong with the world!

Being NAKED and FUR FREE is the most beautiful fashion statement anyone can make!

I just reported a seller ( http://myworld.ebay.com.au/vogueearth/?_trksid=p4340.l2559 ) and left this message with ebay. I hope it doesn't fall on deaf ears. I'm going to do everything reasonable and within my power to put an end to this.

WARNING: Please don't watch the video if you feel uncomfortable with images of extreme animal cruelty!

--------

This seller is listing new real fur items.

Animal fur is one of the cruelest animal industries in the world, and the buying and selling of animal furs frowned apon in many countries (including Australia) the fact that this member is selling these fur items on ebay is abhorrent enough, let alone that ebay is making a profit from these items. I am greatly disappointed and I would like to know what you intend to do to rectify this situation.

I assume that you are unaware of the horrors that the animals face that come from fur farms. Many animals are clubbed to death and electrocuted, but many are also skinned alive. This is not an overstatement. Please see the following video for a view of what can and often does happen in these farms, and of which you are shockingly openly supporting.

I am a concerned ebay member. I would like to hear back from you in regards to this matter.

Sincerely,
Sally"

The issue is that they are not doing anything illegal. Whilst we may frown upon fur all we like, it's still perfectly legal and openly accepted (apart from dog and cat fur). I doubt we will get any response from ebay in regards to this matter. It is still important to let your voices be heard however, and do our best to put an end to it. The more you say no, the more people will realise that it is wrong.
