Wow is all I have to say

well, i do agree about the turtles... they are pretty dirty and require alot of attention.. most families with small children dont do enough research and in return are hurting the turtle with improper care.. i recently rescued a RES from a family and his condition was almost fatal.. its a great feeling giving them the proper nutrition and seeing his shell grow back but maaaaaann is he dirty and alot of work to keep clean..

as far as these humane society nerds categorizing ALL reptiles in this one category is not only stupid but stubborn and selfish! i know most of you on here could care less about Canada.. but you should take some time and read this article about the Humane Society in Toronto.. it got raided and there was numerous arrests made for animal cruelty and poor condition's.. there was even a MUMMIFIED cat found in the ceiling!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it just goes to show you that these HS idiots dont know !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But there are already laws in place for res turtles. We are all aware of the dangers of salmonella in reptiles. But how many people have actually gotten it? Ive never heard of any one I know get it from a snake. There are TONS of ways to get salmonella so why not ban all them to? Ban all our food products because we can get diseases from them also.
