In your above post you said, in part that you wanted "the pet store to stop selling live animals"

What would you prefer a PET STORE to sell????????

You just added fuel to those who believe that your real intent is

NO ANIMALS IN CAPTIVITY. Which is PETA's agenda.

Look, if you are searching for perfection in pet stores you are not going to find it. And all of those problems that you mentioned (parasites, etc) can be found in all sectors of the reptile trade. That doesn't mean it should be banned.

The reptile industry has come a very long way from where it was only a decade or two ago. Captive reproduction of endangered herps is becoming more and more common. Things are much better than before but you are correct when you say that problems still exist. The problem with PETA associated programs is that it CAN and HAS lead to bans. Bad press makes the public overreact to something they may really know little about.

But that is what you want isn't it.
