Stolen pictures on ads for animals?
« on: November 04, 2010, 01:10:02 PM »
I did a google search recently and found someone has been using photos of my deceased pet and using the photo for their animals for sale? They have NEVER owned this animal NOR is it from the same genetic background as their animals for sale. I would like the ads removed. I emailed the person directly and requested that and they said they can do what they want with my photos of my deceased animal. I emailed domesticsale and have yet to hear back. Can anyone help with this?

Ok, I just reported it AGAIN. They have 2 posts. Maybe since the admin, apparently, checks here something can be done about it? So far I haven't received any sort of verification from domesticsale of them even getting my report but all I care about is that they remove my photo from their ads as it is fraudulent to others buyers.

Here are the 2 ads:

and

Here is my abuse report:

This person is using one of my photos of my deceased pet and trying to advertise it as one of THEIR animals for sale. They have NEVER owned this animal nor any other from the same genetic pool. Please remove their ads. My original link to the photo is here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dmclx1/4134691191/in/set-72157622929950646/ . Please fix this! This is the 2nd or 3rd time I've tried consulting your abuse report about this and it looks like nothing has been fixed. Thank you.


PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!!! This bunny died earlier this year from bronchitis and it's heartbreaking enough to try to find someone misleading the public with the bunny's photo claiming it's a pet they have for sale!

Thank you, admin, for FINALLY doing something about this. The bunny's illness was bad enough to have to deal with some jerk thinking he can get away with using the bunny's photo for his profits.
