Ebay also sells animals on line and they are very sneaky about it. Check out
http://www.ebayclassified.com
an "All Categories" menu appears at the top so click that and you'll see the "Pets" category.
Ebay has advertised they don't allow selling animals, blah, blah, blah. I wrote them and they gave the standard "we are trying to help solve the problem by finding them homes." I talked with them on the telephone as well. Nothing did any good so I told them I would no longer use ebay and that when the opportunity arose I would let people know that they do sell live animals, just on a well-hidden board.

You are correct. That's why I truly believe that spay/neutering should be mandated so we are not murdering animals simply for being orphans. We have to nip the problem in the bud, and if people are irresponsible then the government NEEDS to step in. It's the only thing to do morally. Animal rescuers are overflowing and hoarding situations become prevalent when some rescuers become saturated. This situation is a sad reflection of society. Please urge lawmakers to ban/control breeding until there are only enough to go to loving homes. A family pet should be a privilege, not a right. sigh... Like many of you, I am truly haunted by this poor creature and would do anything to turn back time. I also check the news first thing in the morning and last thing at night for news. I can't wait for the perpetrator(s) to be apprehended. Please give it everything you've got QPD and BPD! Many more lives, human and animal, are at stake.Craigslist also says they only "Adopt" not sell. While I have seen a couple of legitimate rescue groups list their adoptable pets on craigslist, mostly it is backyard breeders or irresponsible people with an irresponsible litter they are trying to sell, but they call it "adoption".
It is tough though. Some people disposing of their inconvenient pets do advertise on craigslist. While I hate that they are disposing of their pets, the fact is that type of person will do it, whether it's on craigslist, the street or at an overcrowded shelter. The problem is simply too many unwanted pets and not enough homes.
