You’re right I don’t see ‘selling’ as morally distinct from tagging, killing, eating meat, whatever. And I certainly don’t see selling on eBay as different from selling on most any other venue.
I’m talking about the act, the reason for this article’s existence. The reason the animals were taken away. You think that someone who gets off on punching holes in animals in their basement is fine. If they were living next door to you you might think differently. Just a hunch.
Except its illegal to sell live animals on Ebay.
