what is wrong with this snake (pics)

Dse

I find it hard to believe that the owner would be on the board of the DSE. Not out of the question but I doubt it.

Can someone PM me the name of the shop please?

This is wrong. Neglect and nothing else. I went to a VHS meeting where Dr.Franciscus Scheeling (Melbourne Zoo Vet) spoke about OPMV and the twisting you mentioned is 110 % OPMV.

This needs to be shut down now and quarantined to avoid a spread but unfortunately it might be too late.

Thats seriously unacceptable. I felt really sad when i saw those pictures. Im sure if you/we gathered some real evidence like the pictures youve got, especially that turtle pond, we can make a stand. Im in Brisbane, but im happy to support you. If anyone out there can make a poll, raise your hand, and we can get a petition going. We'll have a petition, photo evidence, and come up with a strong case. Im sure if we all got together in this, we can make a difference, and just keeping fighting until we do. (btw, whats the board of DSE?)

neurological symptoms are indicative of opmv. If i was u i would be making sure it didnt contaminate you...

Neurological problems are symptomatic of OPMV but not exclusive.

Those of you that said something needs to be done, you are absolutely right.

I dont know where you are talking about as far as the shop or whatever goes. But i tell you now if you showed those photos to any wildlife foundation, and it was only a home, they would be beating down there door let alone the fact it is obviously a shop

I personally would be keeping those photos, and going to the state wildlife officials, then the media, make afuss, jump up and down. Make some noise. Dont just stop at that, contact the council, today tonight, a current affair, WWF, RSPCA.

You make enough noise, people will listen.

You dont need back up

Those photos tell everything

Yea i think the RSPCA is actually a good place to start. I dont care who the owner is their r ppl out their with enough power to make ppl listen. You just need to find out how to contact them.

Can someone PM me a name

Media

Go the media straight away. That way all of the relevant authorities will have to wake up and act.

Publicly out cry cannot be ignored. The media is the powerfull tool that we can use here.

 

[shamous1]

Like wise

Can someone PM me a name

I want the name too please.

 

[method]

any part of the media would be happy to pick up this story and go with it with no worries, dooo it

can anyone tell me what would cause that goanna's stomach to cave in? The snakes pics arent clear enough to see much, the turtles pond is just plain filthy and disgusting. But what the hell could cause the stomach of an animal to just cave in. It looks lke a brick has been sitting on it.

starvation.

i am most certainly going to all the different authorities,
but at the moment i am printing up all the pictures i have plenty more and setting up a few folders,

but before i act i would like to get a hold of some regulations on keeping reptiles in petshops so i can specify which wildlifeact has been broken,

if i put it to them that way and there is an actual law in writing that they have broke they will be closed down.

so if anyone knows any websites or places i can obtain these laws please pm me.

also if anyone has any other info that could help this feel free to email [email protected].

thanks,

sam.

 

[shamous1]

Yep

starvation.

That would do it. The animal is feeding from it's fat supplies and obviosuly when they have none left malnutrition sets in and shortly after death

 

[Jungle_Freak]

Contact the RSPCA ,
surely they would get the ball rolling and save those poor reptiles,
to see such cruelty infuriates me

 

[SlothHead]

I have got a commercial licence though it is a ACT one

I would assume that the rules would be similar

The best people to check with will be the VIC envrionment people, who ever does your licences down that way

They will be most interested.

Something like this, you would have your licence revoked on the spot, well you would in the ACT anyway

[GSXR_Boy]

And people wonder why here, in nsw, people are against selling reptiles in pet shops.

Makes you feel sad looking at that poor lizard with a pleading look in his eye
