Just realized something about free pets and Craigslist.

This close to Christmas, the pets are moving fast. There were four of them last night, and tonight the ads have disappeared.

Let's see how this little guy fares:

Moving and need to find a good home for my Red Nose Pitbull. She is 9 months old and has all of her shots. She has never been neutered and is great with kids.

The poor dog will probably be snapped up by some dog-fighting ring. It is really dangerous to offer a pet free to a good home. Many small dogs are used as bait in dog fight training. Believe me, I know as I was involved with many dog rescue groups.

Most studies that involve animals are very tightly controlled. They don't just use random animals, I hope. And vivariums would never allow it.

Unless you mean someone's home laboratory?
