PETA Sues Zoo Med

[Hugsplox]

To me, the larger concern is if PETA should win this suit. Does it provide precedence to go after the whole Ball Python Industry? Lets face it, there are already two sides of the tub vs enclosure debate among us enthusiasts. The standards today have been created by the industry and breeders, and have become largely acceptable because the leaders carry enormous clout. It could however be argued that none of the standard tub practices, actually fit the length of the snakes they are housing. I thing there is a hidden agenda here as is usually the case with PETA. I think this is one that ARKS should pay close attention to and perhaps even consider involvement. I am not advocating for ZOO MED. Personally, I feel like there items are missing the mark on adequacy for the animals in which they are being peddled. But this could have larger implications and so it may be about protecting the Devil you know versus the Devil you don't. Just my $0.02

I agree with your concern, if you can go after a company for making 40gallon glass tanks for a BP, you can go after the big breeders who are keeping everything in a rack it's whole life. That's not to say I have any issues with racks, tubs, or breeders, I just understand where you're coming from. We tend to be short sighted I think sometimes when these cases pop up and forget that there's more than just Zoomed on the line if they were to win this.
