i have some disturbing news

[I<3Dreamsicles]

Any news on this subject? Thats so messed up... I dont think I would be able to stand a girl like that... She just sounds stupid. Get over it, she was afraid of THE MOUSE??? Not the snake.... ????

If she was afraid of the snake I cant see how she would "get rid of it" with out touch it/ going near it...

I'm surprised your friend was let out of his cage long enough to purchase the snake.

That's like the ultimate in disrespect and definately relationship ending. He had the respect to ask to get the snake. She should at least have the respect to ask him to get rid of it.

A) I find it interesting that this single post by the OP (who hasn't commented since, btw) has gotten so many people up in arms.

B) I smell fish.

C) I wouldn't classify this as "disturbing" news.

D) I'm with Wes - I'm shocked how quickly people judge someone from hearing one side of a story from a second hand source (who hasn't commented since, btw - in case I didn't mention that before).

[wolfy-hound]

People judge from a single point of view ALL the time! The media makes certain of that, as do online forums. Sometimes it's firsthand knowledge(i.e. My girlfriend did xx) and sometimes it's third or more hand knowledge(i.e. someone I know had their girlfriend do xx).

People post on here about lousy pet stores ALL the time, and no one jumps up to say "Hey! Why are we judging this store? What if the OP isn't being truthful? What if the store is fine?" That's a single POV against a store, which could be a perfectly good store, being bashed by someone who is mad they wouldn't sell them a retic and a 10g tank to keep it in.

Do I think most pet stores posted about on here are good ones being bashed? No, sadly, I think most probably are about like the posting makes them out to be. But it's one example amoung many where we accept a single POV as truth. When someone posts on a forum like here, we tend to go ahead and believe they are at least trying to be truthful, because this is a good site. So why all of a sudden is it "Why are all of you judging without a report from the "other side" of the story?"?

Unless you're going to say in EVERY case, there should be a report from side #2, you're throwing a few rocks at posters who are going on faith that the OP isn't spinning a lie. If Wilomn or Rabernet posted that someone they knew had this happen, why shouldn't I believe you about it and denounce the girl who disposed of a harmless pet without permission?

In this case, I kind of taste fish myself, but I still stand by my posting, if she did dispose of a pet without finding a responsible home, she's a animal abuser. If there is no snake, no girl, etc etc... then shame on the OP for posting lies, not shame on people who don't approve of animal abusing and neglecting.

I had $0.02 to spend... so now I'm broke and going to work. *waves*

[llovelace]

She gave it to the guy she sees while the bf is at work!

[WingedWolfPsion]

Unless the other side of the story includes her actually talking to him BEFORE disposing of his property, there is no need for the other side of the story. There is no justification for what she did, period.

well, the administrator should be more respectful, if you want ppl to use ur site & luv ur site, then be a little more professional. Thats very unprofessional to call someone a liar when they share a story. Seriously, how professional is that???

That's absolute bull. NOWHERE did she say you're a liar.

It's not disrespectful one bit to say something doesn't sound right... fishy, being the term used.
