At this point I have seen NO conclusive 'evidence' to substanciate these disturbing rumors. So at this stage it should be assumed that it is just that,... rumors. I just thought I should post this just in case anyone was becomming unnecessarily concerned or even paranoid. If I ever do come across any actual proof that this has been done or is being done I will post that too. If it was being done I think every herper should know.

Also,.. if it becomes evident that these were intentional rumors created with the intention to deliberately smear a good breeders' name, then I will expose the parties behind that as well. This practice has been done before and I find it dispicable! I remember some years back someone spreading rumors that a good breeders' entire colony was infected with I.B.D. It was very damaging to this breeders' business and name and was nothing more than a fabrication. I wouldn't want to see a repeat of this. Sure, it was eventually apparent that it was untrue, but the damage had been done and in a sense the doubt created has lingered ever since.
