The lady here in Florida who so vocally opposes us has Tigers etc and calls herself a "rescue" but in reality is nothing more than a "HERPICIT". She has went so far as to send letters to everyone here in Florida who has a Class 1 permit's NEIGHBORS to advise them that their neighber may have dangerous animals which might escape and cause them harm. I know as it happened to me. It was a year or so ago but I think I still have the letter. What about her and her big cats? She is representitive of many "animal resue" folks here in Florida. The idiot who let the Burmese go by the Day Care Center here in Bradenton, Fl. I believe was an animal removalrescue guy himself. Before anyone say's all rescues aren't like that I'm in agreement that many are great people. I'm toying now with helping out with Iguana's myself very soon in a rescue situation [has nothing to do with helping our albino Iguana project as I have all the hets etc I need now] because our weather here would allow me to maintain more than the average rescue some where else. Some of the "worst" animal rights wacko's keep animals themselves and in fact purchase or attempt to get other animals in nefarious ways but think only THEY should be allowed to have animals in the first place. These "HOARDERS" are the worst kind of scum and are our dedicated enemies. Keep that in mind when talking or dealing with these people. It also seems to be a way for "SOME" to make a living as they have an inability to hold a real job or to "survive" in the animal business any other way. Again my statements aren't directed nor do they apply to many fine people who do a great job taking in the unwanted or abandoned reptiles...
