The majority of the information was great, but the fact that they show Mr. Minter holding a baby cougar which was for sale at the expo could potentially cause a backlash in some people's minds. I'm personally not sure it is such a good idea to have large, dangerous carnivores for sale at herp expos, as the public's opinion tends to heavily rail against them whereas they tend to leave herps alone (speaking overall here). It just seems like the article could've done without the picture of the cougar cub and little blurb about it being one of the "many exotic animals for sale there" and whatnot.
