Was it Mark twain that said "I'm amazed at how smart my father became from the time I was 13 to the time I became 18" . . .
but yes, on the topic - don't be a rat as put. It hurts more than it helps. The only reason to turn someone in is if they are directly hurting you or your family by what they are doing. It does not bode well for the hobby what they are doing, but it would benefit the hobby nothing for headlines to read "20+ GIANT SNAKES seized at local NY Resident SNAKE KEEPER". Sad day. . .
At Spooky - Agreed it's been many generations of screw up to this environmental disaster - Serj Tankian said it best "We have built our lives. Without nature in mind. So that we've become the disease, But we won't go" So to better rephrase what I said - It is my hope and belief that this generation will begin to right the wrong that we have done against the many dying species.
Cheers
