A google search of that term will bring up some heartbreaking and terrifying stories. A search of images will stun and sicken. There are countless horror stories of animals suffering unthinkable abuses when their owners thought they were doing the right thing by finding them new homes.
Craigslist is a veritable gold mine for people who want to use these animals for:
BAIT for Dog Fighting Rings
BAIT for Wolf Traps
Sold for Lab Experiments
