Stop Gumtree advertising animals as "Free to good home"

Gumtree UK
It is a proven fact that illegal dog fighters use these adverts as a source of bait to train their fighting dogs. What does that mean? It means that your once much loved pet dog will have its claws and teeth removed and will be given to fighting dogs to practice on. If it survives, it will be used again and again until it is dead. They are literally torn to pieces. Quote from a dogfighter... "The hardest thing is to get enough dogs and cats to use as bait during training. One good source is to check the local newspapers for ads that offer a pet dog or cat for free. My wife dresses up neatly and collects them for me....." Gumtree is almost the only online service that allows the advertising of animals in this way, everyone else has alreay banned it. Please help to stop it. Thank you.
