Essex show cancelled

[xxmykyxx]

Reptiles and amphibians are not suited to captivity and do not adapt.

So much stupidity. It's like my friend saying "Don't snakes eat people?!"

No offence but as you have only joined recently i think i'll wait to hear from someone with a bit more credibility.

Ok guys, I have actually just got off the phone with the school where the event is held.

At the present time they do have the show down as cancelled, unfortunatly the lady did not know the full details.

Watch this space.

i was thinking that.. not that i'd be going anyway but it seems strange that somebody signs up in July, around the start of the reptile shows and breeding season etc. Has 25 posts yet started 2 threads on shows not taking place and according to their profile.

ooh look, they're checking out yet another show thread.. You reckon that one will be 'cancelled' soon?

Somebody with a suspicious nature could be led to think they're an animal activist trying to cause problems on the forums.

this is absolutely rediculous!...i wish these animal rights do-gooders would open their eyes!! especially with the comments about reptiles and amphibians not adapting to captivity!...what a load of utter bull sh*t!!! it is FACT that when kept correctly captive reptiles (i know little of amphibians so cant comment) thrive!...they generally live longer, most breed readily, and live a perfectly "happy, normal life" as long as catered for correctly!...i see more dogs and cats living horrible depraved lives than reptiles!....

I don't really care if you believe i'm genuine or not actually alhtough infighting won't help us. I've kept herps for many years starting off with terrapins and tortoises and love going to the shows when I can get the time off work.

Yes, I also support animal welfare causes but not when groups interfere with peoples rights to keep animals. I will do everything I can to defend my hobby.

Its not a hoax. I just had a surreal converasation with a woman at the council (01277 312500). I kept telling her it wasn't a market but she said that the council and the school decided it can't go ahead.

Virtually ALL their posts have been about cancelled shows!! VERY suspect - check them!

I'm gald I'm not the only one who thought this, I wasn't sure if I should have posted my earlier suspicions glad I did now.

Funny how she knew before anyone else the show is cancelled.

I hope the infomation I got from the school where it's due to be held was wrong, although the lady I spoke to did say it was due to the ecoli issues - NOT anything to do with the legality of rep shows.
