[Jacob-list] ebay auction for hunting Jacobs

[Marguerite Van Beek]

Mark

If they wish to list this on their site thru the internet, so be it.  If you think that as a Jacob Breeder that this is OK to do, produce rams for this type of sport, target killing.  If you look at the auction then you will see they are Jacobs.   Hunting is when you go out in the woods with nature and hunt a wild animal.
Last I looked Jacobs were listed under domesticated.  

I did file a complaint with Ebay and will with Peta if this is not removed by Ebay.   That is my undertanding of Liberty.

  And if you do still believe that one of the great qualities of this country (for those of us in the U.S.) is that we can all get along, no matter our differences; I guess you can let E-bay know that also.  It seems to me to be a good thing that there is a market for excess rams at a good price.  This  market gets a lot of small producers interested in producing Jacobs.  I do not understand nor promote these hunts, but I do have a gut understanding of liberty.
  On a side point, the listing description of a Jacobs is a mostly brown sheep with a lot of wool.  Does not exactly conform to JSBA standards.  Starting price of six hundred dollars is not a bad cull price in my neighborhood.

    If anyone finds this distrubing please contact ebay and tell them that this should not be on ebay listings.  
    i tried to get this removed and it was then I was searching for Jacob stuff on ebay, pic, charms and bingo this came up.
    We are truly a very sad society.
