Obviously everyone isn't getting through thickness of their skull and missing points being made so here it is, plain and simple.
The CHAIN is funded by each store making a profit (aka selling products). Dimwitted people buying reptiles from a "good" store, enables the CHAIN to continue sell reptiles and house them improperly at the other 900+ stores that don't know what they are doing. So by "keepers" saying "it's ok b/c this store is a good store" is actually providing funds to help keep the stores that are killing reptiles to keep housing reptiles. So how do you feel now?
Using piss poor examples to try to have a debate doesn't make a point, it's shows a stupid example that had no thought put into it. And someone who is just trying to put their 2 cents in, even though I wouldn't even pay 2 cents for it. Comparing making a burger wrong to housing an animal improperly for many months is not even a comparison.
As for the breeder comment, why to pull that out of thin air. No one even said buy from a bad breeder. I do RESEARCH before I buy any of my animals and most of the time I actually know the breeders I buy from.
There it is plain and simple. If you like it kewl, if not I don't really care.
