A Friendship Dilemma

[revxus]

And one final question, have you been arrested for beating up any girls lately or have you just gotten away clean?

Oh, did I hurt you that bad?

[wilomn]

I fail to see what this has to do with the current topic of illegally obtained snakes.

Character my friend, character.

Or lack thereof.

You decide.

You in favor of beating up girls? You ok with guys who do?

[Patrick Long]

Just got back from reading the BOI.....

Wow is all I can say.


This is not the first time Pete has tried to get pity from some shady deal.


I swear....there is a dark dank corner SOMEWHERE you can go crawl in.


Im actually surprised you are allowed to post here. After all the slander and crap that you have pulled over the years.......laughable my friend, purely laughable.

1.) Who's beating up girls?!

2.) What does beating up girls have to do with this thread?!

This is exactly what's wrong with the herp community! Instead of making judgment calls, and layin' out the law you should be advising and encouraging!

That's what WE do as a community and will continue to do, however we will never support people who sell, ship animals illegally and those that defend them.

Do you understand people like those are what's wrong with this hobby?

I guess not since you think it's ok.

Oh and shame on US for calling that kind of people out for jeopardizing OUR hobby.

Just history repeating itself, I guess some people never learn

Deb,

With all due respect, this "native species" is always a very touchy issue with this community. I understand that now.

I think you missed my reply where I CLEARLY STATED that I have contacted Fish & Game already. The report has been made.

But the discussion continues??? What gives?!

DO NOT attack my character on this forum in such a manner just because I fail to see the point in attacking his character with questions such as that. I was merely asking what that had to do with the topic at hand. If it doesn't have to do with illegally obtained snakes and the sale/transport of said snakes, then it should not be posted.

Now, back on topic. You said you reported him, and now you just let them handle the situation. Keep your snakes and do what is best for them. I would personally not breed these snakes and keep them purely as pets since the breeding and sale of their offspring is probably illegal too.

People can learn from this thread IMO. It's always good to remind yourself that when purchasing reptiles for really good deals, you need to ask as many questions as possible, and get things in writing/e-mails.

It is what he does best.

I may not be the most-liked individual, and like I said before I really don't care whether you like me or not.

You can't please the world!

[Vypyrz]

I completely understand the situation.

1) Rev, the best I can tell you is to do the best you can with the snakes. Hopefully they will thrive for you. If the Rosey's don't make it, then cut your losses.

2) If you decide to report this person, then do it anonymously from a pay phone so that your name and number are not recorded.

3) Everyone who is bashing him needs to get some understanding on the reality and the gravity of the consequences of being a "rat."

I'm not condoning, supporting, or endorsing illegal activities, but those who do engage in those enterprises are ruthless people who will not hesitate to dispatch an informant on principle alone.

But then again, maybe I'm just being melodramatic...
