Jamie,i just placed a ad in the sale section here offering a female amelinistic corn.I will donate the proceeds from her to this rescue.Anyone interested please view my ad and help out.

Everyone really needs to see this...=P

That's such a heartbreaking story. I'm not sure how anyone could read things like that and still not believe that there is true evil in the world and in some people. :rainon:

Las Cruces Reptile Rescue is an incredible organization. This is a horrible turn of events, if I recieve any updates directly I'll be glad to post them.
These folks need help and they are very very good people.
Every little bit helps.
It's nice to see you guys supporting these fine folks and the work that they do.
It is a terrifying situation if you have a large collection of herps to be vandalized or robbed. We have had restraining orders on certain people during a few animal cruelty cases. That was scary enough, I just couldn't imagine.

I'm honostly in tears. I cant imagine those poor guys sitting in there cages, and having these *******s bum rush them and hurt/ killing them for no reason.

This is truly a sad sad thing. Hey just remember, karma will catch up with with the guys who did this one day. And it will be a good day for sure.


I'm also donating to them, I hope everyone steps up and donates anything they can to help them get back on there feet.

I still have the Amelinistic female corn up for sale and the procceds go to the rescue.If anyone is interested in her the ad is in the trade/sell section here.

There was a small animal rescue in my area that went through the same thing, they found rabbits drowned in their childrens swimming pool and much worse things inside.... It's disgusting what people will do to creatures who can't defend themselves. IMO people that do this do not face stiff enough penalties, then again I'd gleefully remove all of their extremeties starting with the smallest. There is no excuse for these kinds of situations, none at all. Hopefully all of their negative energy will catch up with them in a huge way.

I feel bad I haven't been contributing to reptile rescues before this...Imma change that, starting giving a bit every month if I can...

This is absolutely terrible. I can't imagine what I would do if someone hurt my ONE snake, let alone so many animals you've worked and worked with to make them feel happy and secure in your home :(

That is just so sad and heartbreaking.

I just sent them a donation via their paypal account. I hope the word gets out thruout the reptile and animal community so others can pitch in and help.
