Illegal Sale or Cruelty to Animals

Pets4Sale does not condone the exploitation of animals in any form. Although it is the responsibility of sellers and buyers to ensure they are following the law when making transactions, we do monitor the advertisements on this site. Any advertisement that is posted to this website which contains any indication that there is cruelty, exploitation or illegal sales of native animals will be removed immediately and the seller will be contacted and possibly reported to the relevant authorities.

Unwanted Pets

When buying a pet make sure you are ready for the responsibility. Do not purchase a pet that you are not ready to look after. Animals require dedication and care. Animal shelters around the world are filled with unwanted pets. Do not purchase a pet if you have any doubts as to your ability to look after it.

Animal Farms and Registered Breeders

Illegal Animal Farms are on the increase in Australia. When buying an animal on Pets4Sale.com.au we encourage buyers to check that the seller is either a registered breeder or has had their premises inspected by the RSPCA. If possible a buyer should view the pet at the sellers location. Sellers should be aware that the RSPCA is active in the policing and closing down of premises that do not comply with regulations. We suggest that sellers and buyers contact the RSPCA for more details and that buyers are vigilant in their purchases.

Importing Or Exporting Pets

If you are thinking of importing or exporting pets, pet supplies, animal products to or from Australia we highly recommend that you check with the Australian Quarantine Inspection Service before entering into any agreement with buyers or sellers. Australia has some of the toughest laws with regards to the import or export of these products. The Australian authorities are very likely to prosecute offenders and confiscate goods no matter whether you are the buyer or the seller.
