    As bad as this is going to sound, my perspective is twofold:

    1) As long as we keep "saving" these BPs from the clutches of PETCO and Petsmart, the more they will keep bringing them in and mistreating them. The only thing corporate sees is that another snake sold...bring more snakes

    2) We can't save them all.


    I'm reminded of a lesson I learned in USAF Survival School. During the POW camp portion of the training, they couldn't get any of the guys to talk, so they brought in the only female student in our group and proceeded to beat the crap out of her. Finally someone decided to do the "right" thing and talk. From then on, anytime they wanted to know something, that girl got her butt severely kicked. If everyone had just kept their mouth shut the first time, she would have only taken one beating...similar concept applies here.
