What an <edit>!

How anyone can treat animals like that is beyond my comprehension.

 

[jbm150]

Ugh, I really dislike people sometimes. I am encouraged to see from the video's comments that the watchers felt the same way

 

[ZergFront]

This makes me feel very sad... but mostly angry. Yup, deffinatly not purchasing anything from Strictly Reptiles. Hope they like my ranting comment.

Doesn't matter if it's defensive and fast. He could have done it a different way. Rob's going to just love this! (sarcasm)


- All well, can't fix stupid... -

 

[vohnholley]

No way!!!!!!

Are you telling me that was strickly reptiles that did this video? That sucks because i have bought severl tarantulas from them over the years. (the ones that all died withing a month of me owning!!!!!

 

[JC]

Worst T handling video on Youtube. Only a two year old can top this guy.

 

[Hilikus311]

Yeah, i just flagged it as animal abuse!

 

[the nature boy]

Only a two year old can top this guy.

I think you're giving the guy too much credit.

 

[scar is my t]

Good god. I thought people where a little smarter. Oh well he is probally a drop out from community collage and started breeding stuff like tarantulas as a job. Lucky us that we buy our animals from people who like the hobby and are well educated with it.

 

[AudreyElizabeth]

LOL check out his reply to the comments. *shakes her head in wonder* People kill me, I mean really kill me.

We all know that tarantulas are just big nasty bugs to most people, and disposable to a high volume reptile dealer (who sell less-than-topnotch animals to begin with).
This guy illustrates the darker side of the 'business' quite nicely, and it should just be a reminder not to buy from large companies or chains. Private breeders, dealers, and individuals all the way!
Still, I couldn't resist adding a comment or two. I know it is a waste of breath, but it was too ridiculous to let slide.

 

[sean-820]

Now at least you know why their called "Strictly REPTILES"

 

[AudreyElizabeth]

Now he is backing up and saying the video is there for 'discussion' purposes.
Should I call him out? LOL Arachnoboards has 5,618 active members. I imagine he saw his arachnid profits swirling down the john.
Any thoughts?
I'm not sure what my beef is with this guy in particular, but he rubbed me wrong throughout the whole video..... Even the video description got on my nerves.

From what I understand the poster, or author of The Lizard King is not the man in the video.
As far as I know he isnt even affiliated or endorsing Strictly Reptiles.

I sympathize with your anger but unless im mistaken youre directing it at the wrong person

R.I.P. Jim Morrison the TRUE lizard king.

Huh..... Well, you just derailed my soap box for the day. It was kind of misleading, (to me anyway). I owe The Lizard King an apology. :8o
Oh well, crusades aren't exactly my thing, but the video just irked me.

 

[spiders4life]

Im to shocked to comment in a acceptable language:evil:

 

[ArachnoAddic808]

:evil: Thats ..... Horrible!!! Wish someone would man handle him ha! Whooo thats got me a lil heated. :evil: Poor spiders, wish i could save em.

EvAn~

 

[Nomadinexile]

Prosecution?

I am mad as heck. WT<edit>? These people need to be ran out of the animal business.


Has anyone sent this to the local district attorney yet? I know it's a stretch. But if we, as a community, conducted a united campaign, lots of emails and calls, eventually, he would cave just to end it. He won't care unless we do right?

 

[Nomadinexile]

Enraged

My blood is boiling, I called and wrote an email with link to utube. This is what I received in reply. Does anyone know the validity of these statements?


Dear Sir;

Thank you for your attention and link.

That video was taken 4-5 years ago. That employee was fired. He claimed to be a professional. His mother has recently died.

 

[anikaisbff]

hes so mean with the ts

POOR TS

 

[Nomadinexile]

O.K. I just had to go calm down a little bit. grrrrr I want to know what the above statement has to do with them hiring this guy and not training or at VERY LEAST observing him to see that he can transfer an animal without THROWING it up in the air. Regardless of whether or not he works there, their level of incompetence in hiring him and letting him get filmed "as a pro",
when he was being abusive to them, is disgusting and incompetent.
