Stolen Picture on Petfinder

[Kalandra]

Check it out... here is a picture of NeMali for a hedgehog who is in a shelter in CO. Should I be flattered?

I'd be mad them stealing a photo, but then it is rather flattering in a way. :laugh:

I think I would be annoyed about it since they are trying to clam that that is the animal they are adopting out. by the sounds of it they probably couldn't get their hedgehog to uncurl enough for a picture, but probably want people to think that it will.

I think they should have at least asked permission to use one of your pictures, or explained that that isn't really the adoptable hedgehog.

I would be pissed if they just stole my pic without permission. I would also try to contact them about this.
I mean this seems to be a regular occurence with them as they also posted a pic of a hedgie that PringlesMom was interested in and claimed it was an albino, but used a different pic that wasnt albino.

But I am not sure who I would contact..The seller or "PetFinder".
BTW...It is a wonderful pic of NeMali! :)

Agreed Titanium! Not only did they steal Kalandra's picture, but who knows what this hoggie looks like for real? If I was looking to adopt another hedge and I saw that photo, I would be very impressed with how clean and well cared for he looks. The actual hedgie for adoption could be a completely different color!

It is not right at all to us K's picture w/o her permission, but I only feel bad for the hedgie :cry3:

Are you going to contact the person about using your picture without permission?
