I don't believe I misread you. Never once did I say that the dealer had no responsibility. What I was saying is that you cannot make a dealer solely responsible for the actions of others. Everyone has a right to refuse sale of an item to anyone, but when you try to make the dealer responsible for actions that were beyond their control is when you get into sticky situations. Its all about protecting the rights of everyone. I don't believe I ever said it was illegal to refuse sale. I did not try to ruffle your feathers, just giving aspects of the law and the liabilities.Originally posted by atmosphere
I don't think you read me clearly. And your saying the dealer has no resposibility,I disagree ! I'm about to breed my pitbull . And if some kid wants to buy one and, he is pulling on the ears and tails and, his parents aren't paying attention talking on the cell phone telling him just get what he wants and, come on ! Sorry I'm going to refuse sell thats my right , I don't wanna see 10 year old kid gets mauled by one of those evil pit bulls on the news. I have the responsibility to the puppies other breeders and my love for the breed. On the other hand its not full proof but some 16 year old could buy one and get home and beat the crap out it ,But seemed like such a good guy from what I saw. Hey but at least I made the effort. Most dealers post over 18 only on there web sites.So I don't see how you think I'm out on a limb here.I just merely wonder how they verify it. Wich - a credit card is very hard online. Thats why I said maybe it should be some way to check at least age for the "hot" breeds. Hell wal mart has refused sale to me a couple of times for getting rowdy with my buddy's there. So don't say it's illegal to refuse sale......Actually I was hopeing a dealer would chime in and tell us how they do it.I'm not sure they don't check. Thats why above says suggestion if they don't.
actually I got a goose skin and a lump in my throat when I red this whole story and I don't know if I would have been involved if I would have stayed as cool as the wife of the biting victim and my friend the neighbour. It happend deep in the night, it was in the winter time, there was black ice on the streets so that the emergency physician came very late (and later they also could only drive very slow back to the hospital) and while the wife and my friend have been waiting for the emergency physician, the biting victim was laying unconscious on the floor, throwing his head from one side to the other and each time he did that he was groaning...Originally posted by Lopez

No they are not. Venom of medical importance are venom that send you to hospital for emergency treatment and perhaps hook you up to a life support machine. That threatens your life. Poke venom do not.Originally posted by Professor T
Do pokies have a venom that is medically significant? YES

It will be printed in a german tarantula magazine (www.dearge.de) I think end of this year. ...wouldn't this be a chance to relearn your German! =;-)I'd be very interested to read the article when it is complete.

Pain and discomfort yes.
Here in the USA dealers that are responsible, list their pokies as having venom that is medically significant, not fatal. In Sweden you probably remain neutral on venom that can make you sick for weeks. Its a cultural difference, maybe semantics, but I know they're not fatal. Jabbing a pencil through your eye isn't fatal, but is medically significant.Originally posted by Crotalus

The reason for newbies to wait with pokes are simply cos they can be a handful to handle (NOTE: handle as in with sticks aso). Fast and darts out and up on your hand in a blink of an eye.
