Cut him some slack. He's new and probably unaware on what is looked down upon in this hobby.

This is actually funny that you bring that subject up. If you guys are into using photos with or without permission then maybe you should sent a message to one of the moderators of this web-site.

I don't think it is appropiate to use other breeders photos and claim that the animals in question belongs to him. That does not sound right, does it?

I'm thinking about the pied and caramel on this web-site as I'm pretty sure that NERD were the original photographer the animals.:

Origin of the original photos.:

Kara happens to be one of my very best friends, and she's also very good friends with Ed, who is the owner of Wildmorphs.

I know for a fact that Kara has given Ed permission to use NERD stock photos for his site, as she has for me as well (although I have not used any NERD stock photos for my site). In fact, I know of quite a few smaller breeders who have asked and been given permission to use NERD stock photos.

The difference between you trying to call out a staff member and what the OP did was that the staff member did the responsible thing and got permission to use the original photographer's stock photos for their site, whereas the OP has a history of using other people's photographs without giving them credit or providing direct links.

In fact, a day after he joined here, he tried to pass off a Mike Wilbanks animal as his own and only laughed it off when he was called out on it. And then said on January 11th that he only had a pastel and he thought he needed to impress us. It's interesting to me that his signature lists more than just a pastel, especially when he claims his mojave didn't eat for the six months he's had him (but he also refers to him as a girl in other posts).

It's just very hard to keep track of this user's "truths", and while he's young and trying to fit in, he's also blissfully unaware for some reason that trying to impress us, doesn't impress us at all. And the fact that he has posted other people's animals without getting permission or giving them credit on multiple occasions just makes people look at him more critically.
