WC Gravids?

[wilomn]

I don't disagree with importing, I disagree with importing gravids. I don't see the need to do mass importing of normals because as far as I can tell we pretty much got that ourselves. However importing gravid ANYTHING, I think that's screwed up.

UNLESS that gravid is something you want.

Here's reality. There IS a market for them whether or not you buy them. Why not strive to have them properly treated instead of not imported at all? Why not put YOUR ego aside, why not put YOUR feelings aside, why not put YOUR agenda aside, and be on the side of these girls who ARE going to be here whether you will it so or not.

I do understand your stand, both sides of it. I just think it's sort of silly to think it will stop just because it should.

We should all be in vehicles which do not poison the air we breathe, but where's the profit in that? It's far cheaper and more profitable to stay the norm and buy carbon credits instead of actually doing the right thing.

One at a time can make a difference on a small scale that may in time make a signifigant difference but in the mean time why not realize it will happen, shift gears, and try to make a positive difference in the lives of these reptiles we all care about so much?

Why condemn everyone? Why the hate?

As my esteemed colleague Master Shrap has said, some of the guys importing take dang fine care of the girls once they arrive. Do they deserve no credit for being the good keepers they are solely because they market animals? Or is it solely because they market ball pythons, which are near and dear to many here?

It won't stop. So what now?
