Animal Abuser
šØ URGENT WARNING TO ALL LOST & FOUND / PET REHOMING PAGES šØ and people rehoming pets or reporting lost animals.
It has come to our attention that a long-term, repeat animal abuser is still actively obtaining animals through Facebook groups.
The type of animal does not matter ā birds, livestock, dogs, small pets ā anything he can access.
He monitors rehoming pages. He approaches people offering āhelp.ā He presents as reasonable. He will say the right things.
Do not give this person any animals under any circumstances.
If you are an admin of a lost & found page, a community group, or a pet rehoming group:
ā¢ Please stay vigilant
ā¢ Check profiles carefully
ā¢ Share this warning across your networks
Animals have already paid the price for people not knowing.
If you are unsure about someone requesting an animal, ask rescue groups to help.
