They can not legaly give away anything UNLESS they go thru the courts and are awarded them.Then IF they really care about them they will screen the adoptees and only after each reptile is cleared as being healthy they can adopt them out.They could not have done this process in 3 days.They also have to have Terry in court to give his side.
Just speculation :P He is going to Milwaukee today to get some "free reptiles". Milwaukee is where this "raid" just took place. I guess I will ask him when he comes back.

Oh i figured that but was just putting the info out there :gj:
With that many animals? I'd give it one month, maybe two months, tops, and it could most certainly get into that condition.

Just because they can't doesn't mean they won't. One of the recent pit bull raids they put the guy's dogs down within 24 hours of the raid and he was found innocent. Other people have had dogs disappear completely or die in care of the "authorities". I would be curious where the animals are going since very few places are equipped or knowledgable to take reptiles.

Re: Terry Cullen raided
There's a guy who had the HSUS come in and confiscate his 172(I think) dogs, even though the HSUS rep said on record the dogs didn't look bad, and the official inspector had been there TWO DAYS before and said everything was fine. The judge has since ruled that the dogs were taken illegally, but something like 34 dogs have died while in the care of a rescue(of PARVO!!!! What rescue doesn't take precautions against parvo??).
So it does indeed happen. Especially when any AR groups get involved, either in presenting evidence or making accusations to actually showing up and taking animals illegally.

Re: Terry Cullen raided
If you watch the video where they're removing the animals, notice that the buildings are attached. There is a building on either side of Terry's "warehouse".
If there were mice running loose and the stench of ammonia and feces was so great, then why didn't ANY of those neighbors complain of 1) finding white/spotted, etc. mice running loose, and 2) of the smell. They even interview the alderman who says he was just in one of the adjoining buildings recently and didn't know the animals were there. That tells me the smell couldn't have been anywhere near what they're reporting.

Re: Terry Cullen raided
You know this whole "raid" sounds like a bunch of crap in my opinion.No judge is going to sign a warrant to raid someones storage building looking for a sexual assualt suspect.They have noted several times Terry is well known and has assisted them numerous times.So why are they taking his reptiles? I am sure he has EVERY permit needed.I think everyone needs to back off and wait until we hear from Terry :gj:

Re: Terry Cullen raided
Well the warrant was for the home and personal property. That also granted them the right into the "warehouse".
