Letter Requests Grapevine to Ban Puppy Sales Advertisements

community · 2022-11-24

A letter to the editor requests that The Islands Grapevine follow Facebook's policy and stop allowing advertisements for selling puppies and dogs, citing concerns about animal welfare and overpopulation. The writer advocates for spaying and neutering to ensure more dogs find loving homes.

This is the archive, not the newspaper. Between 2018 and 2026 this site compiled these items automatically from public community sources — chiefly The Islands Grapevine, regional news feeds and community groups. They were not written by a reporter and were not held to the standards this publication now applies. The archive is kept because it is a useful dated record of what happened on Denman, and it is labelled because pretending otherwise would be the first thing we would tell you not to trust. Current reporting is at The Denman Firestarter.
