Instagram shows ads for pet cremation machines sold via Alibaba and AliExpress
Reddit users reported seeing Instagram ads promoting pet incinerators, including devices marketed as 'Pet Animal Cremation Machine' and 'Smokeless Domestic Rubbish Incinerator,' sold through Alibaba and its sister site AliExpress. The ads, which appeared on Facebook, Instagram and Threads, featured AI-generated images of healthy-looking cats and dogs posed beside the combustion equipment. Meta's ad library confirms some of these listings were run by Alibaba, though it's unclear if they match the exact ads users saw.
