Animal rights body PETA India on Wednesday claimed that e-retailer Quikr has ended “animal sale” on its portal and taken down “pet trading” advertisements after the NGO appealed to it and also mounted pressure. The NGO had alleged in 2018 that Quikr was allowing users, including dog breeders, to sell live animals, leading to violation of animal-welfare regulations.

• According to PETA India, the portal’s pets section says, “Quikr has discontinued listings related to the sale of any animals on its platform and any listings of this nature would be deleted.”

  “If you are in the business of selling pet food, accessories, or providing pet training & grooming, or have a pet clinic, you can post your ad in the respective relevant category.”
