I keep seeing this, even in response to one of my comments, that you expect a charge to equal jail or worse ... whereas the original case, etc, would surely just lead to an educating 'slap on the wrist'. Surely, always assuming the worst is 'flawed' logic.

It doesn't change the fact that they still should have known better in this day and age and that examples have to be made to get the point across and judged on the circumstances of each case. ... there's nothing wrong with that logic for as long as animals die through ignorance and bad advice with no form of penalty the hobby is giving more fuel to those who would like to stop the keeping of exotics. It can, will and does stunt the growth of our hobby and directly affects the public opinion of it.

And yes, bad info is out there and people do make mistakes but it is up to people like us to get the right info out there and combat bad practice in its many forms.
