Stories like this always give me the royal red butt, but once again.....sigh:wall:

l left a message there asking to adopt them all

thats horrible for that person

 

[Lucara]

I'm pretty sure I would track down the retarded woman who called that in and beat the crap out of her. >.<

 

[Mina]

The thought of that scares me silly!!!! I can't imagine the horror of having a bunch of cops or animal control officers or whatever they are called, knock down my door, and then walk out with all of my babies!!!!!! *shudder*

Better check your local laws or they may rat you out too.

I also would, being just down the road near Omaha, NE. There are plenty of us in this area, we could all share.

so far we don't have any laws like that , at least not on the county level and seeing as i am not nor do i plan to live in any city i should be ok lol

We don't either, I wouldn't want to live in an area which does. This type of ignorance really angers me.

Well their paper is run about as poorly as their damn city hall. i just spent about 30 mins trying to post a frikkin comment and it just dissapeared down the drain. That left me more angry than reading the story did! I'm never going to Sioux City now and if i do i'm bringing 1000 B lateralis and leaving them in the bathroom of city hall!

(Yes, that was a joke. I'm more resposible than that Mr Federal Wildlife Officer)

Hmmm....I tried to post a comment, but it won't accept it. Good job getting on there Paul and setting the record straight a little. I despise people who rant about something that they aren't educated about.

Talked to the Souix City Animal Control about 20 minutes ago. Lady said there is a reptile group out of Des Moines, IA who are going to take all 15 of the tarantulas. When I told her I was with the NE Tarantula Enthusiest's Club (N-TEC), she sounded kind of disappointed they weren't coming to me. (I had left a msg early this am, but got no return call.)

Does anyone know anything about this Des Moines group??

Funny, I found the thread posted initially on Fark and once I looked in the comments thread, most ppl there said the exact same things as here. Lotsa people found spiders to be interesting and found it dumb that the police came and took them away. Seems silly. I am glad that someone close by looked into adopting the buggers. Critters like those would never pose a threat to the environment once winter came around. I think it should be part of every science class to familiarize people with spiders and other insects more closely. Would have saved some misunderstandings I bet....

I left a bit of a reply, myself....
It disappeared right into the ether...go figure.

First your choice of dog....then your choice of tank pet...then your choice of car...and your choice of clothes.....
BSL affects everyone. The mentality of our lawmakers and loudmouthed neighbors with irrational fears should be feared.
It applies equally to all of our pets.
Our freedoms are quietly slipping away, while we bow to the fears of idiots. :wall:

THAT scares me.

 

[J.huff23]

Poor people! If someone came and took away all of my Ts I would be devastated!

What really gets me is when the said that Ts are "venomous" and "dangerous"

 

[arachyd]

It looks like posts are getting through now.

 

[ian robbins]

Reading stuff like this makes me wanna join the NRA!!

Outta my cold dead hands you'll take my T's!!:evil:

Animal control better bring swat with'em!

The government should fear the people not the other way around.
This is some gustopo $%!# right here.

Des Moines would be where www.aqualandpetsandplus.com is located. They have a T society going there.

My post also didnt go through, that story makes me furious early posts say that the police should have been involved. if that happened to me i would give the police a reason to come around
