whats wrong with these guys?

Thats really too bad about all those turtles and even the other animals there. Well hopefully the inspection fails, i read the other forums about this place and i don't see how it couldn't unless the inspectors were blind!

Any updates? Did the inspection fail?

nothin yet guys. ive had tests these last few weeks so i havent had time to take pics and upload/post them. sorry.

ill be back in the grind next week, stay tuned.

oh, and my names tommy, not mike ;)

Tommy, did your school refer you to this place? If so, you need to talk to someone about doing a better job screening potential internships so this place doesn't get interns in the future.

Joe, in terms of what Tommy's learning, I think he's getting a very good lesson . . . in what not to do. I'll bet he remembers this place all his life and does everything he can to make sure others don't call themselves a rescue when they aren't.

Tommy, please let us know what happended with the inspectors. Our Florida Fish and Wildlife Officers down here in Orlando wouldn't let a place with conditions like that stay open for another hour. Maybe a word in someone's ear down here would keep you out of the direct line of fire up there - just let me know. Stay strong!

How are the little turtles that you posted about? Has anything happened yet?

the small turtle with the really bad MBD got adopted, but i dont know by who. i hope by someone who knows how bad he was.

we passed inspection. the only thing we got cited for was "keeping animals for longer than need be"


apparently its ok to keep reptiles/amphibians in such conditions

:eek: What?! You gotta be kidding. Seriously someone needs to call tha ASPCA or something cause that is not right to keep let alone rescue reptiles in those unfit conditions. This is truely sad!!
