Thought I should share

Small, Shetland sized unicorn in need of a good home after marital split up. Approx 3 year old Stallion, origionally won my myself in a perticularly high-stakes poker game. Not registered as pure-bred as we suspect there may be some wild non-magical donkey in the mix (no papers)
Garden and shed a must, experience in keeping maythical mammals prefered but not strictly needed. Comes with saddle, feed bag and 6months of insurance. Do let us know asap

Looks like a scam - they spelt 'originally', 'particularly' and 'mythical' incorrectly. Surely a real unicorn owner wouldn't do that?0

Ahh ... but I wish there was ..... I would love a unicorn!!!! ... to be a honest even a sea horse would do - think they are gorgeous & magical !!!!!!!!
but am now worried they have real little pony or donkey etc. they can't look after ...... hope they find good home if so.
TBH have just replied to link if just incase can put them in touch with sanctuary or similar - will wait to see what happens.0 -

Yeah, ross you're right - it does ... and there are people there to help if they are. There are loads of really good sancturies around - better to go to one of these than to someone who likes the idea of having something but may not really be able to look after it. If they haven't already managed to access/find these sancturies hopefully they will reply to my post on re-cycle and it will be able to go to the good home they want and are advertising for it.
Really hope they reply and I can put them in touch with somewhere as am sure they want to go to good home, after all, they are not trying to get any money for the animal - just appealing in a quirky, humerous way for someone to take him.
Hope all works out for family and donkey!0 -
I don't think its a scam. Some people like to put up funny ads on Gumtree just for a bit of fun. We have tons of these funny ads in the Gumtastic section on the London site.
Needless to say, I don't think you should attempt to purchase the above mentioned unicorn!“Official Company Representative
