    Re: Terry Cullen raided

    First, you'd be assuming the media has it's facts correct. That's a big assumption right there when the story involves reptiles.
    Second, Peta only has to feed the media reports, they don't have to go trash the place and throw dead rodents around. They only have to twist things. The building was 2 or 3 stories high? "Rodents found on one floor of the building" gets turned to "rodents found on the floor in the building". Frozen feeder rodents in freezers, or thawed to be fed to animals sometime soon(and let's face it with a huge collection there's liable to be feeding going on most days) gets turned into "dead animals in proximinty to live ones."

    It's all spin. How do you say it? What wording do you use? What can you imply, that later you can innocently shrug your shoulders and say "Well what I said was xx, they just took it wrong.."

    Not that I'm saying peta DID that.. or that the media has all of it wrong... but we don't know, and it is possible for the wrong spin to make a normal situation out to be a horrible situation.

    If the woman was keeping the endangered species illegally, could it be she was caring for animals that Cullen owns rightfully with licenses? Could be. Or she could have illegal animals she isn't licensed for. We don't know yet. Most likely the truth lies somewhere in the middle.
