Terry Cullen raided

[Tochigi_R]

That's dissapointing.. I really wanted to give Terry the benefit of the doubt, just because he seemed so dedicated, but those pictures are rage inspiring. Like the poster before me, it's not the pictures of the rodents, but that snake and gator.

Part of me wants to be able to say those photos could be a big misunderstanding, but how do you explain that away? Especially with the way the media is going on about things. I don't know... I'm just in awe that someone who's so outspoken about protecting and preserving reptile species would allow those animals to live and die in those conditions.

As far as the sexual allegations go, who knows. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. I'll be interested in seeing how things turn out.

It is digusting seeing those pictures. One thing I don't get is why they're so small though. You can't really see much in them.
I hate how this story is taking so long to get to the bottom of though.

Well I think in leiu of how it all went down....the first part sounded rather vague.....then came this even more vague crazy story, then came the police report which was very detailed....then the pics. Like the other poster stated...I totally get de-fleshing those items for educational purposes...but if you look at the snake alone...not really a set up for that...it more looked like it was left there after it died. So yes we are seeing pictures and reading a one sided police report that sounds pretty convincing. However we have not seen his defense yet. I don't think there is one person here that hopes this is true. I know I certainly hope that there is a rational explanation for all of this.

I have not changed my thoughts about the rape part at all.Now after seeing those pics thats another thing .If he really has done those things and allowed reptiles to suffer it will not only be him paying the price but us all .This will give those wanting to end our hobby some major leverage since he is well known in the world.Whats really weird is we know more info concerning the rape part then we do the reptile parts .I wonder why they are being hush hush? If this turns out to be a total setup i hope he cleans out everyone involved bank accounts .

I don't consider it to be back-pedaling to change an opinion when you're given new facts. You can say the soup is great, until you find out there's pee in it, then you change your mind(I'll bet). We got a partial story which no one would WANT to be true, and it's filled in some with hard facts(pictures), although we're still missing a lot of the story.

I'll still wait to hear the end results, and as I said, IF he's guilty, I'd want him punished, and if he's not, I'd want him cleared. I still think the girl's story sound a bit wacko, and it's going to end up a "he said, she said" from what I see. I don't know how anyone would have evidence of him doing all that from months ago, which makes me wonder how they are bringing charges just on someone's word. I mean.. I could pick some guy at random and say "Oh, he raped me" and they'll just go charge him? With all those details in the report, what evidence did they get to bring actual charges?

All the animal stuff stems from the sex charge warrant, so if that charge turns up bogus, they might end up having to throw out all the evidence of neglect if the warrant was based on nothing. Hopefully if there was indeed neglect(which at least that snake looks like) he'll get charged for it.

Ok i just posted something on fauna concerning this.I wish we had someone that we trust that could get us the whole story instead of this bits and pieces we have been getting.I mean cmon if this place really looked like this dont you think the neighbors would have complained before now .The smell alone would be enough

[Kaorte]

That is pretty filthy. And I believe the photos to be accurate. Joe, how can you just sit there and say all of this is BS? Those pictures can't be fake. Where would they have gotten the pictures from? Why are you convinced the neighbors would smell it? If the buildings don't share an air supply system then there is really no way the neighbors could smell it.

[NotaMallard]

I agree entirely with Kaorte. It's impossible for those photos to be faked, and I honestly don't understand how some people can be so stubborn as to not admit that.
