I am sending this along on behalf of Terry Cullen, a leading conservationist whose life has now been shattered both personally and professionally. Computer access is difficult and he is unable to send the message himself at this point in time. Please take a moment to hear what he has to say.

Thank you for your time,

Rex

To the herp community:

Near the end of the week I will be publishing an open letter to the herp community. My attorneys, whose standard operating procedure is to NOT allow their clients to contact the media, publish information, etc. until the legal proceedings are over, have quite simply forbid me to go public on any basis. You have no concept of how incredibly difficult this has been, especially in light of the outrageous conditions that have prevailed surrounding my case.

My letter may not do a lot to answer questions, but I felt that I could no longer sit without some contact with the community.

My final comments in this short note are as follows: 1. More than ever you need to band together & become seriously proactive--THIS COULD HAPPEN TO ANY ONE OF YOU! 2. Anybody remember the pictures of the 12 foot diamondback? Pretty convincing until you heard the story behind them.

I'm going to ask the kind folks on kingsnake to share this with other major herp sites. It is exceedingly difficult for me to get on to a computer.

My best to all,

Terry Cullen

Never heard of this "leading conservationist". Rather vague indeed.

If he'd send me those gambians he had in his possession, sure I'll be all supportive. As it stands we're all still trying to contact animal control and such to find out what happened to those four pouched rats. They're EXTREMELY rare in the US pet trade (as in non-existant) right now, and are very special creatures indeed. We're afraid they've been put down but they won't return our phone calls or answer emails.

I'm afraid if they ARE given off to the public, or to even a zoo, they would have absolutely no freaking clue how to care for them properly. MOST information out there is inaccurate, and certain foods and certain (COMMON) antibiotics can be deadly to them.

Nothing but a lot of conflicting opinions in the "news" reports. No website for Cullen's organization. I'd like to see some more, you know...facts.
