It is understood some members of the public have responded to advertisements in local papers looking for good homes for animals. The interested buyer is then asked to pay for shipping costs and airline fuel charges via a Western Union transfer. Fortunately no money was sent however police are aware of a previous incident where a good natured person sent money but no animal was ever received. If you are in the market for a pet it is advisable to make enquiries through local well-established businesses or animal charities.
