I agree, however, at my zoo, we have furnished AV for the private sector on a "as needed basis", and I certainly don't have a problem with that.
One was a deer hunter who was bitten by a large Canebrake a few years ago, and the local hospital didn't have enough Wyeth, and we covered the rest.
Another bite was by a fool hardy person who was trying to "hand shed" a small Rhino Viper and was bitten on the thumb.
We of course supplied AV for that. I also was careful not to delete the zoo's stock, in case someone at the zoo got bitten!
However, I, or my zoo doesn't have a problem giving AV to an individual (private hobbyist), when needed to save a life. That isn't the time to reprimand a "private hobbyist" for not stocking their own AV when someones life hangs in the balance.
