"SALMONI: Absolutely. I mean, the fact that there are people who have no training at all that take these pets, they don't make good pets, they shouldn't be pets. There are people who know how to take care of wild animals. We've got accredited zoos, we've got people that have spent years of their lives studying how these animals can be best taken care of. And I think that's what we have to realize, that there are animals"

As I said in the Boa forum & Burm forum where I also posted similar info, these are the things that are really hurting our credibility as much as the keepers who dump animals and so on - The public is going to be hearing how we are apparently "mentally deficient" as keepers now...
