I used to volunteer at the humane society, and that was something we always
stressed even with dogs, we had a problem in Pittsburgh, pa with people
using dogs they found in papers for free, for fighting, so when I see
someone with an ad in my local paper for a free animal, I will call and tell
them, I have had people say thanks, I did not think of that, or hang up on
me, which I guess I understand but I always tell them at least put a price
on the animal and then once someone calls if you would like to give it to
them once you feel comfortable with it, that's fine but if they just want it
for fighting or food for another animal they wont call if you are charging
them something, because they know they can find them for free somewhere.

My local paper is full of bunnies for free, its sad, people buy them at the
pet stores at Easter or holidays and then weeks later they take them to the
shelter, and the bad thing is most have not been taken care of right and
left in cages, and have to be worked with so they can be adopted, or they
get put down and its called humane.
