Let's start with the your attitude. Re-read your last sentence....that's attitude and basically a confrontational stance. If you've something to say, say it without your own attitude before you accusing others of the same behaviour. Assuming this forum allows "flaming" isn't appropriate. That's #1.

#2 - how much contact have you had with Kara and these two companies? Is this a long standing issue or are you basing this one what, two short contacts? During the biggest, most major show of the entire year you are upset that Kara didn't have time for you? That the store employee may have been less than patient due to their own pressures that day? I've never vended at a major snake show but really it's only common sense to understand that during this time major vendors will be under intense time constraints as they deal with the show and moving valuable living stock over large distances.

#3 why was NERD transporting your snake? Did you pay for this service since it was not a snake they sold to you? Was it done as a favor? Did you understand the timeline for arrival of your snake or just make a lot of assumptions?

It seems to me that making a statement like this..."They may be good to PAYING customers, but in the end, it boils down to money. They dont care about anything else but making money off of their animals." is a pretty broad statement based on what appears to be a couple of small incident that you've blown way out of proportion.
