I specifically said I was not talking about the money. If you are in an industry, whatever the industry, and care about it, you would obviously be more concerned than people who weren't. So go look up the definition of ingorance and you will see that it is you Chris who fits that description better than I. Please re-read my post and then read what you wrote, I'm confident you will see what you missed the first time. As far as the name calling is concerned, you again misunderstood and jumped to the most low brow childish response you could come up with. But the truth is, whether this is a sting, or the guy actually knows someone who will illegally take Eastern's from the wild, he hasn't done anything wrong. I see that you guys are all very quick to call and tattle tale on the what if's and the maybe's but I honestly couldn't live with myself. Take a minute to think about what would happened if I reported him. They would go and ask him if he has ever imported WC Eastern's and he would say no. They might dig a little deeper and try to find proof but if they didn't, and I doubt they would even if he had, it would be over. A huge waste of time, money, and resources all to make a point that you cannot even talk about importing federally protected wildlife. I sure wouldn't feel any better. Actually all this nonsense has made me realize that an Eastern, and the people who breed them, are just to hard to deal with. I am in this for the love of the animals, not that you guys aren't but at some point you need to ask yourselves if you take yourself too seriously. Good luck, and maybe I'll run into you guys on other posts.
