Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Our community is a small one. I'm not looking to fight or make a big fuss, I just want to reach out to this community to try and see if anyone feels the same way I do about this and if there would be an opportunity to try and convince sellers to not promote these animals as pets. I'm not trying to create the "feel good" thing, I just believe that every little bit helps. If you disagree so be it, but spreading awareness of the issue is the first step to correcting it. And of course I posted to their ad, Eurasian owls are some of the largest owls in the world and can be very dangerous if mishandled. They are in NO way pets. Also, why is posting my current opinion on some one's post such a bad thing? Were you not previously standing up for freedom to post?

Technically, posting replies in classifieds is for paid members only, to stop that sort of behavior. It's a nicer place now because of that implement, too. Not sure why the other classifieds sections aren't included in there, but it doesn't make it okay.
Approach the seller nicely, and you might find a receptive audience. Or hey, if you're so passionate about it, perhaps you can start an informational (non-combative) thread in the bird forum section about why these animals don't make good "pets".

Alright, good advice. What I'm worried about is that the people won't look at that section and go straight to the classifieds part. As a similar instance with reptiles, what if some one puts a picture of a sickly snake up where only experienced keepers would be able to tell? Could some one not warn them about this?

someone selling sick animals will end up in the BOI. Posting a BOI about every seller that is selling these birds, simply because you do not think they should be, isn't going to get you very far on this website = /
and posting your opinion is one thing (not really allowed in the classifieds) but demanding someone to stop selling their animals is entirely different.

Unfortunately, I have to spread karma around before I can give Eddie his next donation, and add another for you, Shadera. Your suggestion is very similar to the one I had planned to make.
