At 17 while I was hatching dozen cobra species, Trouper Walsh was figuring how to keep condros alive and Auffenberg trying to get a grip on his bengalensis husbandry, local zoo was holding a press conference about the million dollar new reptile house, the highlight then was the Colombian boa constrictor litter, the fruit of all this high teck institution.
Incidentally I was at Dorval air port when the wild gravid female arrived, not to mention the only positive thing out of 80 exhibits.
Why such a fuss if not gate numbers?
Of course they knew all about me and a few herper’s doing a good job with our captives, surly the birth of a boa litter was nothing to brag about even in those days, but such is life I guess.
Anyway I don’t care about them and surly I am not head hunting, facts are all I need to show the not so glorious side of them.
To this day nothing has improved at that place, animals are still imported and still die. It’s not about them in particular or any other lucrative institution, this is not the reason why I voice my opinion.
I voice for all to know that my rights to keep the animals I love is threatened by gate numbers and animal control agencies, yes my freedom stops where bureaucrats decide it should stop.
As a keeper the only right I have is to voice my opinion, and even then theirs a timeline.
So hey my apologies if a knock a few heads in the process.
oh by the way every word iv said on this thread is in context, not what you want to hear but nonetheless in context.
