Our appeal was successful

[uroplatus]

Just a quick point on the rescue leo front. Yes in hindsight we probably should not have taken in rescues but often its extremely hard not to when confronted with the owner of them saying they would rather leave them to die than spend money on vet treatment. It put me in an awful position - did I tell them oh well theres nothing i can do or take them off them and make sure they got vet treatment? I chose the latter and I still stand by the desicion I made as I know I did the right thing for the animals. Animals under treatment on display was our desiscion and it showed the public that we did give animals treatment when needed and animals can and do get ill. I dont see a problem if you label the vivs accordingly, use specific vivs for that purpose and if the correct hygiene procedures are used. We never had a single complaint from a member of the public regarding these leos or in fact any other animals.
Anyway that was the way we did it and I know other shops may have different methods and procedures with dealing with rescues and animals under treatment and I cant speak for them.
Anyway I think I have answered your post now and explained why it was so.

Just on a different note - any mods reading this can I please be reinstated to the classifieds again now - I have PMd T-bo but had no reply so I dont know whether he got my message or not. I know the reason I was banned was due to the old convictions but now as all of the animals ones have been quashed I would like to think there is absolutely no reason I should still be banned. If I am still banned then I want a full explaination as to why.

Sparkle - I have no idea whether or not I am getting involved with Rhac-shack because as mentioned a number of times in the old threads it is actually my mams name for her Rhac keeping and excess stock, although I did help her out on occassion the animals all belong to my mam. I may have some Rhacs at my house and in that case I may either add my name to the Rhac shack or decide not to.

Thanks very much guys - John I know you never doubted us. You have been very supportive of us all the way through this and we would have found it it much harder if you and others hadnt believed i us. I have lost friends through this and that has been hard but at least I know who my true friends are.
Thanks again all who sent congratulations!

as a post note shops often have to keep animal carrcases in the freezer as a way of claiming credit most wholesalers require proof for credit

Suez - I'm really sorry I didnt see you post above John Cs post - so thank you very much for your kind words and support.
Bassman (John) - thanks very much for coming on here and giving your support as well.
EmmaJ - thank you - its so difficult to go through something like this and still believe in yourself especially whenpeople who dont know the truth are sooting you down constantly.
Luckly I have had amazing support and help from family and friends otherwise I dont think I would have gotten through it at all.
