big big problem

[slither]

yeah pythons rule basically its all coming down to the fact that they hate snakes but until they have done it by the laws and sent this all to me in riting i dont have to do anything no matter how much they say i have to go in i dont they arent above the law at all

 

[mrsshep77]

Thats one step forward slither!! I don't see how they have any right to take your herps away from you. I'm also a body corp committe member and when it comes to the laws that bind a complex they are reasonably flexible. They can't actually enforce anything without the written complaint and requests as previously stated and the law is on your side anyway as you've done no wrong technically.
Good Luck anyway and just stay calm... beat them at their own game by using your lawyer and you'll come out of this ok... she'll be the one with egg on her face!!!
I can't stand people who are uneducated about reptiles and think they can pass judgment on something they know NOTHING about!!! My biggest pet peeves!!!
Don't go jumping the gun by selling your animals, I know I couldn't do it and they'd have to take me out before I'd give mine up!
I'm lucky that I'm chairman of our body corp as I own my townhouse and I own herps but our neighbours have been made aware of their environment and have interacted with them and we've given them an understanding on how harmless they are etc etc! Most of them are intrigued by them rather than scared!
Keep up the fight mate and you've got the 150% support of everyone here behind you!!!!
Cheers,
Mell

take one to the meeting with ya see how long she lives for as she scared to death of them. tell them its the only one ya got. if there that scared the meeting wont last long. oh and call ya snake kitty or something and when ya go in say this is kitty. but mate i really hope everything turns out ok for ya

 

[slither]

yeah i have never taken them around the complex either i have always been very carefull so how this lady even knew is still a mystery and unfortunately they wont tell me who she is or what unit she is from

 

[Chris1]

offer tto have the meeting @ your place so they can see their all locked away and not nasty.

 

[slither]

i wont have to sell my reptiles as adam has offered to take them if it comes to that which i dont think it will now he will house em for me until i can sort out somthing great guy thanks adam

 

[slither]

yeah chris was guna suggest that il just keem them away from my male teen foot olive lol as he will kill anything that moves and some things that dont move lol

 

[tooben]

sounds like an old hag i really hate how people carry on i bet she wouldnt even listen to ya if ya tried to teach her about them. you know what people think like a dead snake is a good snake. people just think the worst about them.

 

[Chris1]

yeah chris was guna suggest that il just keem them away from my male teen foot olive lol as he will kill anything that moves and some things that dont move lol

What you need to consider is whether NOT attending the meeting is how you want to go, obviously your solicitor would be the best person to speak to but you have to consider that by not attending at what is legally only an informal request you may just put more of the committee off side...

By attending and making them aware that you chose to attend, despite not being legally obliged, and attempting to resolve the issue it may make the process smoother - and as a number of people have pointed out, if they rule against you tell them to stick it

As far as I see it you can't really lose - it is all a matter of how you win, in agreement with the board or in defiance...

 

[slither]

even though i have half a mind to intruduce the old hag to him im sure he would eat her ass lol

 

[slither]

yeah asian that a really good point didnt think of it that way

 

[rodentrancher]

So did you advise them re your rights, and that you weren't going to the meeting until everything was in writing?? Cheryl

 

[slither]

thats what i have done yes cheryl i at least want to see this complaint in writing for all i know it may not have been made as they said it was

 

[slither]

they might just think i have snakes and not like them so they want them out cause as i said before i dont really see how this lasy could know

 

[rodentrancher]

Ah, that's good. So keep us posted on any further developments eh?

 

[Aslan]

yeah asian that a really good point didnt think of it that way

...a matter for yourself and your solicitor to discuss...

...There is no harm in being civil and agreeable to begin with, attend, invite them to come and check out your setup and your snakes, explain how long you have kept them, explain that you have never had an escapee, offer them the opportunity to ask you any questions they like, even handle the more placid ones...

...if none of that works then just point blank refuse to comply...

Make sure you keep us all updated as we are all very interested to see how this plays out (kinda like Big Brother but with more interest)

[militant_vixen]

I'd make sure that you put your objection and your reasons why into writing yourself so that you have copies of everything that is going on and why you are not attending the meeting. Just a thought

 

[slither]

[tooben]
