If it would upset you that much you would have reported him already, plus, you would need to know where he lives in order to ask the correct council ..

Because it is a public forum. Because we like to discuss things. Simple.

As for using money as a deterrant that's probably the case and i see that really unfair and totally agree with ssssiso (Cant remeber how its spelled lol)

I just hope if i ever decide to get a DWAL they will go about thing's abit differently. (Which they probably will because i dont intend on getting one anytime soon)

There is no way a common knowledge test could even be written really. Even if the tests where broken up in to seperate parts for, say, one for snakes, one for spiders, one for crocs ect ect. The amount of species of snake (for example) is pretty impressive. There is no way that answering questions about how to use a hook, how to hook a copperhead or a gaboon could make it safe to buy a 15ft king cobra.

With respect, I think you underestimate the capabilities of the authorities.
If there is evidence that someone is keeping illegally and it is decided that a raid will take place, then they will come unannounced. There will probably be Council officials, Police officers, a Vet & / or RSPCA and at least one person who is an expert in dealing with whatever species is being kept illegally.
The Police will be well trained in conducting house searches and reading peoples’ body language. If they know how to find drugs etc. they will be able to find any hidden animals.

Fair comment ... but a forum where someone posts a picture of a DWA scorpion is hardly evidence now is it ...

If you have a DWAL the Council may well make an appointment to visit you at mutually convenient time. If you are keeping DWA species illegally and they find out about it they are not going to make an appointment for next Thursday at 10 am because they know darn well that you would have moved any illegal animals to a relative or mates house by next week. So chances are if they have enough evidence they will organise a raid.

As I have said already, this is a public forum. This means that any interested parties can read through the posts here. You would be naive to think that the police can’t track down a person from their e-mail or IP address.

It is when they tell you theyre holding it

The person in question posted a pic of a DWA Scorp being handled by themselves, and told people they have balls of steel

and a pic is concrete proof that it is actually his own scorpion, and not one that belongs to a friend of his who does happen to possess a valid DWA permit?

you told me the other night you wished you had never started this and were sorry you'd said anything. So why are you carrying it on?
