and 2.5 years to bring it to court...so i guess lots of watching...which means lots of suffering and slow deaths...

yes i know sickly or skinny animals get dumped at pet shops (one of ours passes stuff to our rescue) but thats total neglect..

It just amazes me the amount of time that it takes to bring sick, money grabbing people to justice.. How many animals suffered while they were gaining evidence..

It is good to see though that they are being brought to justice and omg that place was worse than my house after the kids and Mark have been home all weekend.

i think before everyone starts slagging off they need to get all the information!!! 2.5years to bring it to court cos it took the bloody rspca that long to actually find something to charge them with!!!!

We know the person who this concerns and you honestly couldnt meet a better person, they are totally gutted with this and they are 100% backed by the best rep vet in the north east who is incredibly passionate about reptiles and is normally on the prosecution side not defence side!

Also the rspca jumped to random conclusions about the reps without any vet intervention and failed to do any tests or anything to confirm that the reps were infact at risk!

I wouldnt how long it would take before this appeared and everyone jumping on the band wagon but maybe the full facts must be learnt beforehand instead of presumptions!
