Great, now they'll start rounding up and gassing adoptable herps like they do dogs and cats.
I like how they act like it's some new thing. PETA, you could have been dealing with this before, but you decided to whine about things like Pokemon games and spend money on trying to get people to not play them.
PETA is a joke. I would pass it off as butthurt rambling if they didn't waste money they could be using to help animals. If it isn't telling everyone that our farmers cut cows up while they're still alive(they don't) or saying that Pokemon games convince children that 'Pokemon only exist to fight'(they don't exist, and the purpose of the game is to battle), it's being very behind on things.

On another note, I want to know how these poachers get a snake to sit still so they can gently remove the skin. I've actually done a dissection on a snake before...one false move and you could end up ripping or nicking the skin, and that was with proper medical tools and a non-moving subject. No one would buy a ripped or bloody product...
