$3050.00, that is all the donations. We should all be ashamed. This fund started with $1000 from Michael Cole, who by the way is a great guy, but not a rich guy. It also had a $1000 from Reptile Industries, (Mark and Kim Bell) also wonderful people.
I added a small donation of $100. (I'm not a rich guy either)
Before seeing this post here I received an e-mail request from Wayne Hill who runs the Daytona Expo, he had sent it to his extensive e-mail contact list. With all of the people he contacted and the posts on the forums I sure thought the fund would be huge. I thought there would be so much money in the fund that they might not want to even offer up that much of a reward, why give away 20k when 10K could get the same results.
Remember they aren't going to give away the money unless there is a CONVICTION.
Come on folks chip in a little. It is easy to squawk on a forum and so forth, but now is the time for action and a little cash. With all of the people here, $25-$50 would add up fast. It would be a small price to pay to see someone convicted for letting a python loose for the purpose of bad reptile publicity.
Rewards work. A major breeder who had snakes stolen won a large sum from the court after posting a reward.
