Fighting Box!
Check out this item on ebay - [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
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

Re: Fighting Box!
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!

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

Re: Fighting Box!
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!!!

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