the REAL issue should be WHY are these places sending this woman animals????? surely, the Humane Society, the vets, and all the other she mentions do NOT REALIZE what kind of environment they are sending animals into!!!! there is NO WAY that apartment is big enough for all those iguanas, even if the entire place was devoted ONLY to them (which i doubt) ... and i sincerely doubt that these 20 igs are potty-trained, which brings up the matter of unsanitary conditions ... she has no job, what do you suppose shew is feeding them!?

really, what i would like to know is: WHY is NIAD encouraging this woman??? she needs to be reported to any + all authorities and STOPPED ... THIS IS IGUANA ABUSE!!!!! just as the Humane Society would not tolerate a little old lady with 50 cats, NIAD SHOULD NOT TOLERATE THIS AND SHOULD BE WORKING TO STOP PEOPLE FROM HELPING HER CONTINUE TO ABUSE THESE ANIMALS!!!!

you betcha, i'm really upset! you can send hate mail to the above addy!

a REAL iguana lover,

:::Currently I have at my 1 bedroom apartment: 22 iguanas, 1 spiny iguana,2 tokay geckos, 1 leopard gecko, 1 bearded dragon and about 10 Russain
Dwarf Hamsters. I rescue anything.

The major problem is that the igs have no where to go and several of them (approx 8 igs) have special medical needs... also, I am the only ig
rescue contact person to take in igs from the DE SPCA, DE Humane Society, Brandywine Zoo, The Academy of Natural Science (Phila PA), Friskys' Wildlife and Primate Sanctuary, various veterinarians, various wildlife rehabilitators, and various pet stores... .and not only in DE
but in PA, MD, Wash DC, part of NJ, and part of VA too.:::
