I also totally agree w/Jeanne. It doesn't matter what kind of animal it is, there will always be people that buy/acquire them but don't really want them. If they did truly want them then they would be willing to learn how to do it right, in other words they would CARE about the creature to begin with. I will never understand why people get dogs, cats, snakes, or even have kids when they really don't want them b/c it always ends up in neglect. Sad but true....
