Fighting Box!

Check out this item on ebay - Fighting Box

Look at the way its being marketed "Specially design for Betta fighting activitied". I know they are from Asia, but they are advertising on ebay.co.uk

do they actually want them to fight or to just display more? regardless that tank is absolutely tiny... and they shouldnt actually say "fighting" ergh

Yeh I know, its the wording "fighting activities". You can just imagine the pleb that things "cracking idea that".

I hope there's no one stupid enough to buy one of these!!

I've just contacted ebay to complain.
Ohh their complaint form is terrible.
The best I could say was the title was misleading as it's promoting an illegal practice in the UK going by the animal welfare act...

From wikki..

In the UK, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 prohibits deliberate and
“unnecessary suffering” to animals, but contrary to widespread belief,
it does not explicitly outlaw the feeding of live feeder fish to other
fish. However, it does prohibit introducing two animals for the purpose
of “fighting, wrestling or baiting”.

Selling these boxes with the description describing them for actual fighting of fish has got to be wrong!

I'll let ya know if ebay get back to me!

hmmm ebay...

They're checking it out but...
Please be aware that, as it's important that eBay maintains member
privacy, we can't share details of the action we take. We'll only
contact you again about this matter if we need to ask you for more
information.

I reported it too and know what you mean about the report system I think they designed it to lower the amount of complaints

If enough people complain they should hopefully ask the seller to atleast adjust his wording.

Report system I think is designed for ebay staff... restrict how much you can write so you can't rant!! lol

It's such a tiny box to put even the basic info/reasons in!!!

I've also complained. All I could put was that the product promotes and supports illegal animal fighting and baiting.
