YOU and DISCERN are from the same cut of plastic. So far into your PETA mode that you do not see the analogy about captive snakes and wild caught snakes. You do not worry about the number of dead captive snakes that serve no purpose but to satisfy those that have them. You will not admit that you are in the "puppy factory" business. You cannot admit that your process contributes to thousands or maybe millions of uncared for, sickly, starving, and the slow death of herps. You cannot see that this thread (issue) is to get people to not cast dispersions at anyone (who is not you).



It is obvious that you are very defensive about whether or not it is ok for you to do what you do. What you do is legal and I really do not have a problem with that. Rattlesnake Round-ups are LEGAL in Texas and communities do rely on them economically, just as you do breeding snakes. I wonder if someone started complaining about the captive born system, if you would jump on their bandwagon as well. You would probably have to move from your current state if that state outlawed the "puppy factory". Get a grip on the issue. What will you do when PETA comes to your house, business, or farm and turns all of your snakes loose like they did the mink factories. Bet you would be a little upset. Keep your sh$t to yourselves lest you become the target. Maybe you ought to come around and try to round me up, could be rather interesting. IMFO
