    Re: Ari Flagle caught on video abusing animals (graphic)

    I am not picking side, I hate both animal abusers and PETA members but one thing I wonder about is how does a red ear slider get to that size

    http://www.petsamany.com/files/37715...aredSlider.jpg imagine that at 13 foot

    Not sure but this could slightly affect your credibility

    Anyway back on topic.

    Exclamation Re: Ari Flagle caught on video abusing animals (graphic)

    Sin,

    I am going to feel you in on the world as we know it.

    Ari Flagle:

    Great guy! Do you think that the 5th best zoo in the U.S. would hire a guy that was that bad as the press and Peta(I still can't believe you believe Peta) says. You should read his book http://ularhitam.com/ it is GREAT!!! Get Web Site Too(I Made It)! How many know Bob Clark? I am 1000% sure Bob would vouch for Ari!

    Peta:

    Can not believe you believe Peta. There is nothing more to say!

    USGE:

    Just in case you have never worked for a Importer/Exporter before, I am going to tell you some things! First, The snakes that were put down in humanly. When you are an importer you by ball pythons in bulk 20,000 at a time. This gets them to you for about $1.50 each. Holy Crap is right! But out of those 20,0000 around 3000-5000 are beyond savable. You try to feed them, soak them in water do everything you can but when their sickness starts to spread to the other snake and animals you do what most would do with a snake that they love and care for once they have went through all of there options, they put they in the freeze to go to sleep or take them to be euthanize. Now you may not know this but doing that cost $30 each snake so 30 X 5000 = 150,000. There is no way anyone could ever afford that. If you can we need to be better friends! Now the PETA investigator was the one in charge of the ETB's that you refers too. Ari pulled them back inside and misted they to try and save them. As far as the frogs, that is the only way to get them out of the bottle. When you only need a couple and there are 50 in each one it. Does it make any sense to you to cut open the top and pull them out and them put them in another enclosure? Oh yea most importers get about 30,000 of those when they order them. How are you going to move the GTF so you can cut the bottle? They are every where in the bottle!

    Things got really BAD at USGE when Jasen Shaw went from 20 employees to 7 employees. He is the one that fired them all! The Peta investigator only got 1!!! video the entire 4 months that he and Ari work together!! Wow what a shock!!! Everything else was done after Jasen fired everyone! If you talked to anyone down here in the Texas area, they would tell you about Ari and what a guy he is. And they would tell you about Jasen and what an ass he is.

    Think of it this way, if Jasen was not in the wrong for anything then why would he and his wife flee to New Zea land. You can check their Facebook that's where they are. Vanessa Shaw(Jasen's Wife) was told every week what we needed to get for the animals in the way of food, medicine, and all other needs. They would only get about half the food we would need! There is not much you or I or Ari can do about that. A little Brown bottle of Alcohol is what "medicine" we would get. You can only do so much. Oh yea the top paid guy there was not even Ari and he was the "manager"(term used very loosely(he had a key that made him a manager)).

    Besides this all happened over a year a go and the press just keeps bringing it up here in DFW cause about 20,000 of the animals do not have homes. And I am sure that I could find something bad about you and maybe everyone on this forum has done something in the past. Me personally. I am not proud to say that I even worked there, but I did, and I learned a lot! Mainly what not to do, but they did alot right in terms of being an importer.

    From a Peta on the web prospective:

    You are insane! You gave them a link from BP.net that will give them better rankings in Google, Yahoo, Bing and many others. Why would you do that??? What better way to build up Peta then by giving them links freely from the reptile forums. You personally really need to think about what you say and do before you blow up on the internet everything that you do affects everyone around you. Every link make them more popular! Search Engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo are a popularity contest! I do not want Peta to be popular! SnakeBytesTv, Ralph Davis, 8Ball should be popular.

    Final Notes:

    I hope every enjoyed this post. I Hope it does not get me banned from BP.net as this is a great community.

    Re: Ari Flagle caught on video abusing animals (graphic)

    I thought Ari (himself) was going to respond on here just now? So PETA was just as much to blame as Ari. Well I'll be darn! Two wrongs don't make it right but the world is a crazy place, eh. Ari had no comment for the Fort Worth Star so why would I think he would even respond to the forum.

    Life is cruel but so are folks like PETA, Ari, USGE and Casey. Poor animals/reptiles.. The end.

    If it showed clips that were longer than just a few moments that could very easily be taken out of context, I might agree with you.

    As it is, the shortness of the clips makes the video REALLY look like all situations shown were in fact out of context.

    I am not understanding how I am messing with you. The last I heard Ari was going to make a statement. If he is not guilty of the actions then what is he waiting for? Instead he has someone try to speak on his behalf about how great he is. SHe didn't deny what he did, she tried to justify it with "how the world is", B.S. So basically he was just doing what he was told. Basically, he was just doing what he was told to do?? Any ignorant Joe Blow would get a pass but this is Ari Flagel, Mr. Expert_who wrote the book on the care of Morelia. Nice try Casey, now where is Ari?
