I repeat, I feel sorry for Terry...But this is not about Terry.

This is about the animals. This is way above animal controls paygrade. Any Animal Control. You, of all people Tom should recognize these are not animals to be easily replaced.

In my mind the people, the institutions that have taken in these animals have assumed a great responsibility. People will disagree, they will say a life is a life each one as precious as the next. I'm sorry that is just not true. These are important animals. And if something happens to them it will be a tragedy.

How do you know he raised that Osteolamus from a baby, he may have obtained it recently and that was a preexisting condition.

For all I know Terry may be a seriel rapist. I still don't want something to happen to the crocs.

I called the reporter and had a long chat. He agreed that all this "undisclosed locations," and no videoing of the animals is wrong. I just know that on any given day someone could stop at my house and see dirty cages and apparently take my animals.

I'll put the way my animals look up against anyones.

But once they are confiscated you have no voice.

I would hope someone would step up and say let's see video of the animals, lt's get some weights.

Let me tell you Tom if you think big cages will change public perception you're crazy. The public hears that someone has 60 adult pairs of monitors or whatever. I don't care if each pair has a 1 acre enclosure. The guy sitting in his apartment with his Golden Retreiver is going to think hoarder.

And no one will ever see pics of the facility and no one will speak up for you because they don't want to draw attention to themselves. D.C.
