Hi everyone. it has come to my attention that i have been the victim of fraud since june this year. all the info you need to know can be found on the home page of my website Luton Reptile Rescue | Promoting responsible reptile keeping

Please post this thread into as many forums as you can, it is vital information that will with any luck cease this person trading. Myself and other forum members have witnessed the level of animal care at this companies facility and they need to be shut down by any means. and i think if enough people are aware of his dealings then this may well happen. And please do not trade animals in any way with this man or his alleged 'conservation company'.

thanks for looking,

Dave

it's my fault. i gave him my password before i went climbing earlier this year. forgot to change it. but there really was no need for him to do that. i usually get at least one animal in per week as a rescue. but since june i have had 7. which is very unusual. and all of those people contacted me via phone.

This person for anyone not in the know has a problem with buying animals, as in buys them with nowhere to put them. now that may be ok for a hatchling or something, we can all make a temporary house out of an old chinese takeaway box or a tupperware box.... but it's very different when it comes to things like coatimundi, meerkats, owls, adult burms etc.

I have witnessed some horrible cruelty in retrospect dealt by this very company. and i must admit at the time i was caught up in working with such amazing animals and never noticed..... i did over time. improper housing, filthy conditions, poor diet and it is not just me who has seen it first hand... many others inc forum members have seen this also. I sometimes wish i could get the authorities involved but that may show us as keepers in a poor light. so i am pleading that you all try and boycott the sale of any and all animals to this arse of a man. and make sure others know about it too.

Oh my that really stinks

I am sorry you have been unfortunate enough to get nabbed into this and I really hope this guy gets his cummuppance (sp)

Yiou obviously do a fantastic job with your rescue and it is sick that a so called "animal lover" would put the hobby and the hard work done by people like yourselves to shame by acting in such a way
