And then some. That happened not too far from here and if I knew who it was I would gladly give them a run for their money. My car versus their legs!

The chances they are actually caring for it is remote. They are usually more than happy to hand over exotics to pet shops, amateurs, anybody realy

If fireworks were banned there would be far less problems in many ways for many animals. Fireworks terrify old people, dogs and cats, wild birds and animals on farms etc They cause polution as do the accompanying bonfires (fog forecast every 6th November), hospitals take on more staff for 5th November in accident and emergency units. The list is endless, so why do they still allow it? Money!

i heard about the virgin media advert on another forum!

the thread starter said "it will no doubt encouage some idiot to copy the
advert"

looks like his prediction was proberly correct.

I'm just confuses me is how they can mistake it as a turtle when you can clearly see its a red ear slider!

A Red Eared Slider is a turtle!

I don't see how you can be so sure it's a RES anyway as you can't actually see it's "ears", it's just as likely to be a YBS or a Cumberland as both have near indentical carapace markings.
