here is a link to the article on the Dandenong raid. Also gives a list of what was surrendered in Victoria during the Amnesty.
also note the line
"He said the DSE would be clamping down on wildlife offences. " Hope that includes butchery. http://www.theage.com.au/articles/20...058916953.html

| | Regular Member | Join Date: Nov-03 Location: Red Centre Age: 30 | | | | Check out the history of many illegal caught and kept reptiles and you will find that these fines do not get applied or only small amounts of it.....in which case the owners pay it with ease because they've earned a lot of money by selling these illegal kept reptiles before they got caught. Then their license gets suspended or they are not allowed to have a license, so they get a license in their partners name...and their back in action............It's very tragic but thats whats happening....
