You gotta be careful of that stuff....
If you click on some the links and look into it further, it is sponsored by PETA or PETA related groups. PETA is notorious for falsifying information and is really big on emotional appeal. Now, I know PetSmart and Petco have crappy reptile sections, but if PETA had its way, none of us would have reptile pets. _________________ Laura R (FL)

that video made me more than sad.It made me sick to my stomach and gave me nightmares.I can't believe people can do something like this to the poor helpless animals.I hope and pray to God that they will pay the price for this.I know I'm not perfect and every body makes mistakes but that is beyond making mistakes.

The video made me sad, too. I'm sure it was an actual video of an animal warehousing place somewhere. It's just as bad as puppy mills and the like.
I wasn't disrespecting your post. It's just that I wanted to post a 'be careful' because it's easy to feel emotional and then click on the links to support the group. It wasn't real clear that it was PETA, which is has very strong anti-reptile views, as does the US Humane Society. I don't click the donate $1 to homeless pets button at the pet store chains when I buy with my credit/debit card because I won't support large groups that try to push anti-wildlife (which includes reptiles) legislation. _________________ Laura R (FL)
