Rehomed pets used as bait animals for dog fighting rings
#4
The SPCA will always take pets and rehome them. It does mean surrendering the pet to a shelter. 

When people choose to rehome their pet through Kijiji or a site like that they have only their own judgement of the person to tell them if the person is being honest. The people who buy pets as bait animals have lots of practice. They can sound so sincere and convince you they are the right person to give a pet a loving home. 
Over the internet lots of people pull scams. They sell things that are not what they seem. there are numerous puppy scams where you buy a puppy and when you go to pick it up it doesn't exist. 
People buy things over the internet and they are not what they seem to be. The SPCA is right to warn people not to rehome pets that way. There is too much risk that it will end up with a dog fighting ring as a bait animal.

The SPCA needs to keep working at catching the dog fighting rings and shutting them down. It will take time and it does help if people report anything they know. People also need to stop letting their pets end up in the hands of these people. 
This is something that needs to be stopped and everyone can help in their own way. 

It would help if Kijiji didn't allow people to sell animals or if they monitored the situation more carefully. If someone buys or rehomes too many pets there is a problem.
