Tis the Season for Awful CL Ads

Here’s a real winner. This is not anywhere near me, but they are spreading their idiocy far and wide on CL. It’s a yearling! I already think the private exotic animal trade should be ended and this is a perfect reason why.

Ugh. But I will give them credit for mentioning what a potential buyer will need to do to legally own him.

Price dropped since the last time I saw this ad. So there is that.

Should someone be on a yearling zebra?

Exactly!

I reported it and received a response.

I am confused…

I don’t think anyone should be riding a yearling anything but what about the ad is reportable? If being stupid was not allowed there would be very few CL ads at all.

You don’t think that much weight on a baby equine’s back is abusive?

Horse colt, pony colt, donkey colt, or zebra colt…makes no difference. That person weighs about 1/4 to 1/3 what that baby weighs. That isn’t even close to appropriate weight bearing, especially for a yearling.

Why is that okay? Because it’s CL? I know the bar is low on CL, but you have to draw the line somewhere, right? Especially because those that don’t know any better might think it’s okay.

Did you miss this part of my post?

Yes. You asked why I thought it was reportable, so I asked if you thought it was abusive. Abuse is reportable. Being stupid isn’t.
