Sorry Josh but I find it shameful for any reptile organisation to give Tom Crutchfield attention. He is a low life who is has demonstrated a severe lack of compassion for some of the worlds rarest animals with illegal smuggling to agents across the world for his own wealth. He served 2.5 years in prison for these offences.

Hardly a notable person to represent the hobby. Pretty shameful!

Why did the Central Coast Herp Society choose to allow him to speak? Are you aware of his background? Most respected reptile groups in the US wouldnt even consider allowing him to talk.

I find it laughable that the other speaker is talking about rescue of reptiles, while Tom has been responsible for the harm of reptiles and the further decimation of natural populations of threatened species, most which are listed as endangered under CITES.

Hey Big Willy,

Whilst I'm not going to disagree with the points you have made I'd like to point out that there are that many dodgy notable people within the reptile hobby in Australia that have spoken at all different herp society meetings. I don't think it's fair to start attacking this speaker choice with all the others that get ignored.

If people with questionable morals and shady backgrounds weren't allowed to speak there might only be a few meetings a year lol.

Im sorry but their is no justification for allowing this speaker to talk. He is one of the worst wildlife smuggling criminals and contributed to the loss of endangered species from their natural habitats. He has even been involved in smuggling of native Australian wildlife. This was all for self gain.
