One way that Etsy starts to clean up the site is to disallow new listings from being created, then they start to go back and take down older/established listings. Your current chinchilla listings are still up, but you say they stopped you from listing a new one - perfect example.
Eventually they will get to everyone selling things they shouldn't be.
You can look and see how many sellers are still selling animals on the list, but you're not seeing all the listings they've already taken down and the shops they've closed already that keep violating.
And if you're still selling chinchilla items now that they're on the list, you are really setting yourself up to be closed down in the near future. And it doesn't help that you've come onto the forums to announce all this, as the mods do monitor the forum postings.
Those on the forum often enough have seen sellers start a thread and before the day is done, their shops have been closed by Etsy because they weren't following the rules.
