Are you kidding?

Any herper who is not disgusted by this kind of thing is a disgrace. The animal welfare issues surrounding our hobby are truly atrocious. There is a REASON why HSUS is against exotic pet ownership. I am not saying I agree with HSUS, I think that the rational response is education and legislation, not outrageous bans and incursions on our freedoms and rights. But the amount of reptiles that die horrible negligent deaths in the US every year is astounding and unacceptable.

People like this distributer give everyone a bad name. I was in reptile retail and have been in dozens of import/wholesale facilities. Are things sometimes crowded? Yes. Are conditions always perfect? No. is there still a right way and a wrong way to go about doing things so that animals are not completely neglected? Yes.

Any herper backing up a place like that or even buying from them should really be ashamed of themselves.

Stepping off soapbox...
