Escapee, recaught with baggage

[Tim C.]

The comments you are referring to do not exist.

What right do you have criticizing me for anything about a snake native to my country, In my opinion its you that is unethical for for keeping a snake that, if escaped, could impact your environment. Now explain to me how im wrong on that point.

Ball pythons are not native to america, and neither are a lot of the herps that have been brought to this country. You're pretty much calling most reptile owners wrong by saying someone in europe shouldn't have garters because they aren't native.

It's an innate right, guaranteed by the constitutions of both our countries.

for anything about a snake native to my country

Several snakes, hybrids, not native to your area.

, In my opinion its you that is unethical for for keeping a snake that, if escaped, could impact your environment.

You're entitled to your opinion and as a matter of fact, I have no problem with you having it, assuming you actually have it. It's a valid concern and I do my utmost to prevent escapes from happening, primarily for that reason, and so far, I've been 100% successful.

You are talking about deliberately making it happen in your own case. See the difference?

Now explain to me how im wrong on that point.

Re-read your post and you will find the comments or questions that I am referring to.

After following this thread today I feel as though we are wasting our time. Obviously this "kid" I would assume, only because any adult would actually see the repercussions of their future actions, has full intentions of releasing these in to the wild. Regardless of your thoughts of snakes in Europe I am sure that you have no idea what it takes to even ship to the UK. Have a good day and you and your cousin have a good time destroying the gene pool.

Good point. It was bred in ohio, but that still doesnt make it ethical. Shame on all of us then. I guess when I raise the one female I can go between here and arizona without guilt.

Still missing the point, I see.

Where did I ever say I was GOING TO RELEASE THEM INTO THE WILD? I said I would before I killed them, I was speaking hypothetically, had you read the whole story you would have known that, back to my point about reading the entire post before making another uninformed comment. And where does it state that my cousin has anything to do with these snakes?

The point is, you don't have your priorities straight.

Again another non constructive comment far removed from the topic. In my opinion you are an ineffective moderator only fueling hostility and I will be referring this post to the management and suggest they look into your previous posts. Im confident they will see a pattern.
