You are all a bunch of spineless sheep being led to your own slaughter. There is not a single reptile dealer in this world that these anti-pet people would not accuse of exactly these same things regardless of how clean and proper everything would be. You would find the conditions of any animal food processing plant, whether cattle or chickens to be horrific horror scenes. And they would be perfectly run above board operations. That’s the way it is. I still eat meat. And I still buy reptiles from dealers. Grow a pair and save your hobby. These people are conducting raids and manufacturing the story to suit their agenda. Get back on your soap box, but let’s present a united front that supports our side. If things were truly that bad at the dealer, we would know, stop buying from them, and they would be put out of business by us. If there were legitimate violations, and charges are filed (so far no...) I agree there should be zero tolerance. Just based on what was in this story, there was almost nothing to make me think the dealer has done anything wrong and several hints that they were wording certain things for negative effect.

I agree with everything you said here 100%. Thanks for having the guts to speak up after the previous posters.

This is the type of thinking that gets our nation in trouble. The mentality that Government is always right. usually happens with limited information and zero education. The people have a knee jrk reaction as was displayed here. We follow like sheep into the slaughter without thinking. What we need to do is supoport the distribiter and educate by writing the idiots in cahrge of this mess. that is the only way this will get resolved.

The worst thing we need is peta or other legislation to add more regulation and it usually happens with this sort of misinformation and half truths. They are the voice and we are the silent ones. Who do you think wins?

The whole Calif regulations on reptiles started like this with bag limits on very common species. Do you think they will ever reverse the legislation even though population densities were never done? -NO! Do you think that they will ever look at the facts? -NO! Have people tried? -YES! But they refuse to even look at the facts and even gone so far as lying that there were population denisties done , but there were none ever done. Folks, regulation is always easy. Deregulation is nearly impossible. WITH THE DEMOCRATS IN CONTROL LOOK FORWARD TO THIS NATION TOPPLEING. That's right, you heard it here first. Just remmeber when it happens where you heard it from. But then it will be to late,,, heck it already is.

Stupid, stupid, stupid!
