If he portrayed more love for the animals with money being a fortune byproduct of his passion, it would have a different impact. I don't know Brian, and this may truly be the way he feels, but its certainly not the message I receive when I watch his videos.
I'm not jumping on you Poly, just wondering.......
Many people that bash for one reason or another, I wonder if Brian is the target because he is more televised than anyone else?
Also with a collection of his size, I would hope he managed it from a business point of view. I have been looking at mine the same way the last couple years, doesn't change my thoughts of the hobby. Just means I don't take gambles or make stupid moves without weighting the outcome.
