STOP Selling pets and animals.
I agree there is a problem with homeless pets, but I think it wrong for 5miles allow the sale without a background check of some kind for whoever wants to buy. You cannot go to a shelter or kennel without full disclosure of who or where the pet is going to be re-homed.
These are Live Animals we are talking about, not a lawnmower or old car.

This issue has bothered me very much. I don't prefer this app because of a sense of lack of social conscience regarding the selling of animals. Other reputable apps do not allow the sale of animals and i prefer to use those apps over this one. Actually this is my last choice. And I have been tempted to delete this app as well as advise my friends not to use it at all because of this very reason. Plus there does not seem to be a "reporting" option on this app.when I have come across questionable items. Why is that?

Will you PLEASE Stop allowing the sale of PETS and ANIMALS ON 5Miles. The majority of these animals are STOLEN AND ARE SOLD TO PEOPLE THAT USE THEM AS "BAIT ANIMALS " USED TO TRAIN KILLER FIGHTING DOGS. PLEASE HAVE RESPECT FOR THESE HELPLESS ANIMALS AND DELETE THESE POSTS AS THEY APPEAR.

I really think this may be the ONLY App now that does allow pets to be sold or given away.
This poses harm for all involved on the receiving end. People will often even steal popular pups to turn a profit. This is a pissibility due to the fact 5 miles provides the platform. Then there are those that are selling non - registered pups for the price of a registered pup. The pups are often not vetted and some are iLL or not the age mentioned, all types of scenarios are seen.
This site has doubled (or more) in the puppy for free or for sale post due to all the other resell platforms have enforced a no - sale policy for pups/dogs and cats.
Changing your policy to reflect a NO PET SALES ALLOWED Rule helps the pets and also STOPS those who are putting two dogs together just so they can profit from selling the offspring on a platform that continues to support this disgusting practice. If everyone, including the reselling sites, were to ban this practice, all these babies being born to be sold might reflect lower numbers of unwanted pets. There just seems to me that a noticeable explosion of all types and ages of pets are being posted without strict humane rules being imposed. This sure leaves the innocent lil ones vulnerable to God only kbows what.Please consider a ban on the sale of domesticated animals on your site. It IS the right thing to do. 💜💜
