Those who anger you control you! A saying we have at cowboy church . Think about it .
That is soooo true. Yesterday I was so upset that I was "out of control". The whole thing consumed my day.Those who anger you control you! A saying we have at cowboy church . Think about it .
But as the saying goes, you can't fix stupid. You really can't. It's a crippling disease, stupidity .

But today is better. I think we're all just laughing at their pathetic ignorance at this point.
well, first off, before I say anything, I will not engage in a debate but I will state my opinion and that is all. I have not read the craigslist forum but I would just like to put it out there that I too do not believe animals should be bred and raised in captivity, with the exception of dogs and cats, and I don't believe in breeding those either anymore because we just keep breeding them while shelters kills thousands a day. I love animals and adopted all the animals I own but would never support any type of breeder buy buying one. I wish animals had been left in the wild as they were meant to live instead of this crazy notion that it is ok to keep animals in cages, tables, houses, aquariums, terrariums, backyards, etc...
I do not preach my opinion to people and I certainly would never come on a forum and bash people for being breeders.
Ummmm.... Ok. Then what are you doing on THIS forum? Do you keep a turtle or tortoise or any other exotic? I don't want to start an argument here just simply stating the fact that your opinion is unjustifiably hypocritical.well, first off, before I say anything, I will not engage in a debate but I will state my opinion and that is all.

I am obviously not speaking about a breeding program for keeping almost extinct animals from becoming extinct. But again i won't get into a debate. We are all entitled to our opinions, and there is no problem with mine. I am not going to sit here and give you every example of a good breeder versus bad breeder or a good breeding program versus a bad one.
Wow. You really did get enough of that Craigslist crap, eh? I can understand and respect her opinion as well. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. I have just had soooooo many encounters with people who think that it's ok to have an exotic as long as it came Petsmart and they can buy little toys for it. The retail aspect of it makes them feel better. Not so different than buying that chicken to eat, and not having to think about the conditions in which it was raised.Guys, it's her opinion :/ Even if it may seem illogical to you, it's still her opinion. I have no problem with that opinion if I still get to keep my tortoise and have the complete right to own the animals I want.... Would I be angry if people protested to ban exotics being sold? Yes I would. I wouldn't mind if they banned themselves from keeping exotics...
The majority of our angst here was directed at that Craigslist forum and the general population of low IQ, teenage, and/or highly ignorant people posting who have no interest in education. I am NOT saying you are one of those people.First off, I am on many forums for all my animals so I have thick skin and you guys can debate my opinion all you want but like I said I won't debate it. I don't preach it, I state it from time to time and I am entitled to do that. I will answer one question: I keep pets because their are sooooo many in rescue that need homes. I have yet to purchase a pet. Am I glad I get to keep pets, yes, but would I rather not keep pets if it meant that there were none in rescue, absolutely. I don't think stores should sell animals of any kind.
