Jay_Bunny, that was not an attack on your character. I don't know you well enough for that. You misunderstood what I wrote. That's on you.
It was an absolute outing of lil petey though, difficult though that was for some to see. That's on me.
I wonder if lil petey's unnamed poacher friend is also trafficking in other Ca. Native Herps. I know there are a lot of people who do and it just seems far beyond the pale for me to think that this yahoo pal of out little friends is a first time poacher. It's my thinking that this is a long time relationship, after all it takes more that a couple of weeks to become someones good friend, doesn't it? So, lil petey must know about this guys habits, poaching native reptiles, heck I would not be surprised at all if our tiny friend has poached with this NorCal Yahoo.
Still though, it's not cool that lil petey has known, if he has which I for one firmly believe he did, that this guy was a poacher and not only didn't do anything about it, but purchased animals illegally from him.
I wonder how many other poachers lil petey has done business with. I wonder how many he knows period. That's not the crowd I want to encourage to be here at all.
NO POACHERS! Boo and Hiss to those who support them.
Respect the Duck.
