Facebook has now banned the marketing of live animals through its platform. According to the social network, the veto is valid for pets and also for livestock. It is worth mentioning that the same goes for Instagram.
Mark Zuckerberg's social network, as we well know, has several sales groups in which people post a multitude of items to be sold. However, now, with the revision of the privacy policies, Facebook decided to create this ban.
In addition, the ban extends to the ban on the sale of animal parts, such as fur and fur. Facebook took the opportunity to point out that sales of weapons, ammunition, illegal, prescription or recreational drugs, products for an adult audience, alcoholic beverages or those aimed at gambling are still prohibited.

The rule, as far as we know, is valid only for the sale of animals, therefore, adoption may end up falling into the fine mesh of the social network algorithm and thus being questioned.
