All of his animals were very well looked after and all of them looked very healthy. He had just about every reptile you could think of with marsupials and farm animals out in the paddocks.
When i was there he had a giant burmese python, which he told me he had on a special exotics licence.
Im not taking any side here, but he was a great bloke to deal with and was very helpful. No matter what anyone else thinks.

What he did was illegal and immoral and if we justify his actions soon we will have many "GOOD and DECENT" people doing the same thing and their excuse would be "but hey im a good person" he got less than he deserved
That my opinion and before any one disses it my intitled to it! |

I guess you could say that there are different types of mistakes, some may be regarded as pre meditated and some would be purely genuine.
Anyway on a lighter note it's pleasing to see so many post's positively supporting Australian Fauna. I personally have never had an desire to keep exotics and have always been more than satisfied with what Australia has to offer. With many different climatic locations we have some of the best plants and animals in the world.

|  | Regular Member | Join Date: Jun-07 Location: melbourne Age/Gender: 24 | | | It's very sad to think that sooo many judge someone by the one or two mistakes they make and not the thousands of thankless deeds go un-noticed they do. Well if we were all so cynical the world would be sad place to be in. I'm sure that If we were to judge everybody on the mistakes they'd made in life everybody can be classified as "tainted" I'm not a hypocrite I believe some people get targeted and treated harsh when others who have done alot worse don't get targeted enough. Even if he weren't a friend i've seen the good he's done and would still feel very much the same as I do Also i know where my morals lye I have loyalty in those deserving, to me he is one of those people

That is not a mistake...it is a choice they made to break the law. The reality of it is that he put all snakes both captive and wild at serious risk of disease. Its not illegal for no reason.....
Holding one for a friend.........pfffffft now thats lame...

Same sort of thing i guess. Do you consider what has happened to be wrong? Was there more to the story that we dont know about? |
