Beware of Casey Lauren Byiers (Rhasputin/EVLV/Eccentric Evolution)

[Slim]

I didn't intentionally steal the mouse, it was a mistake made at the source

Far too much water has gone under the bridge and far too many details about your actions have come to light for you to try and pull this routine.

You show no contrition for your actions. What you are is terribly sorry you got caught, and so widely exposed. I see no remorse for the deed.

I had to laugh when I saw all the "mouse drama" unfolding. seamed kinda silly and pathetic, but it uncovers a sad truth about animal hobbyists in general. whether it be mice or reptiles. I have noticed that there are two types of collectors. Those who love the animals and see a work of art and those who love the animals and see $$. while selling the animals that you produce is a way of supporting your hobby and sharing your creations is a satisfying healthy part of it. Those who chase $$ first are ruining the reputation for everyone. Sounds like Rhasputin has chased her obsession with $$ into the poor house. hopefully she will learn from this and go back to loving the animals first. Stay a wide eyed child forever my friends!

Well, people think of it as "all this over a mouse?" but really, it's mentioned earlier in the thread that the mouse cost $50 to get it shipped in, but to replace it would be in the thousands, since another would have to be acquired overseas and shipped in.

Some of my friends' cars cost less than it would to ship in another mouse.

Just putting a quite note out there. I haven't posted yet in this thread, but I have read all 20 pages of it.

I'm posting this to put voice to those of us who do not post here, but read and remember. Casey, I am glad you have returned the mouse. However, your behavior speaks more than your words ever could at this point. Your reaction to people at your house, your blaming of the organizer, blaming of everyone else but yourself. YOU did not make the mistake, you said. Someone ELSE made the mistake, you said. No. It is your responsibility when it comes to any type of transaction. You are responsible for your reputation. Even if it was someone else's error (which, I believe, it was not), it is your responsibility to fix it.

Blaming someone else for an error isn't going to save your reputation. I may not be involved in the rodent side of things, but trust me, these forums have a very long memory, and have many friends on other forums.

So you may delete those threads that accuse you, you may have returned the mouse and assume everyone is just going to forget.... But.... People will remember, and it will affect your future transactions. Good luck with any future group order. I think it's safe to assume that you will be Black-listed from a lot of breeder's and importers lists at this point within the rodent community.

I am very glad to hear that that mouse is on her way to her rightful owner. It is a beautiful doe! I love that satin sheen. Gorgeous.

What a beautiful mouse! So glad she is out of Casey's hands, and on her way back to you. Her excuses and actions really are pathetic. It's a shame, she seemed usually to have helpful rodent info. But this is just plain bad, it never should have had to come to this. And deleting posts on the other website? Really? Not very grown up if you ask me. And she seemed to handle the anxiety fine when she made the taxidermy comment. How sad. Anyway, soooo glad your cute little mousey is on her way to you!

Indeed.

Doing the right thing when a gun is pointed at your head? Shunned on all the forums and a threatened impeachment on one you founded?

That's not doing the right thing. Glad the OP got her mouse back, but as Robin said, all I see is a person who finally decided that keeping the mouse was severely cramping her online "status" and still refuses to admit any real fault.

I'm hoping the mouse ends up back where she belongs.

However. Is the person she's with now not Casey's housemate? (According to the mouse forums threads, she is.) Why didn't this person step up sooner, not wait until all out war was on their doorsteps? Hasn't this been going on for better than a week now? She does co-run the club with Casey as well, from what I gather.

Someone's not sorry for what they did, they're sorry that they didn't get away with it.

Elena is NOT in ANY WAY to blame in this situation, Elena's boyfriend is the homeowner and they are the one's that welcomed us into the home, and elena's bf is the one that spoke to casey while we were there. They knew the mouse belonged to me as well as anyone....but just b/c they own the home doesn't mean they can go into a cage that belongs to casey and take something....regardless of who the animal inside belongs to. I am sure there are things that were done by Elena beyond what has been posted and I am extremely grateful to her. My mouse is now currently living in her locked bedroom.

Must be comforting to know a thief lives in your house...

Must be comforting to know a thief lives in your house...

This is exactly what I was thinking.... Having lived with one before and caught them stealing my things red-handed, it's something that you'll forever think about when you're around them or can't find an item of yours.
