Protests against Lush/APA Chameleon Campaign

[Haggles]

i think it might kick out their fire if we ask what zoological/herpetalogoical qualifactions that the author of this publication has to be making such bold and outlandish claims, then compare this with the thoughts of genuine herpetologists rather than some hippy who decides to take their own ideaologies with more conviction than cold hard facts.

(I'm allowed to call them stupid hippies im a vegetarian who sold his car to stop contributing to buggering up the enviroment)

The other guy was on saying it's not good to keep them as the information about them is limited. Now Chris is on and is explaining how easy the reptiles are to keep and is explaining how there are more books on reptiles than cats. He's also saying how RSPCA are bringing 90% less prosecutions on reptiles than dogs and saying that is APA are really concerned then they would do something about the dogs and not reptiles.

Other guy saying that reptiles are less obvious than dogs barking in a back yard. The radio dude said if everyone knows how to look after them surely it's fine to keep them, now the other bloke is saying what a silly things to say considering 90% of the animals are dying in the first year. He's saying that there's a large number dying from neglect.

Chris is sayiiiiing... 95% reptiles sold are bred in captivity.

Chris is saying they did a study on reptiles, saying it's easier to keep them and that they're meeting all the requirements and that it could be easier to keep them than some breeds of dogs, that's from scientific tests etc.

They rehome 25, 000 dogs a year, less than 1000 reptiles a year.

Tom is saying about salmonella, he said it's more to do with animal rights than animal welfare. He says the trade has to stop and saying people shouldn't be trying to buy an animal.

End of conversation!

[Sephiroth]

OMG! Chris you totally WIN!

*round of applause*

[Marinam2]

Oh dear thats sad. Its true that a vast number of animals die during export/import its not just reptiles. However such a massive percentage of reptiles in the pet trade are all CB shop purchases or self bred private sales.

They don't seem to to mention that.
