: Hi! I think that was very well said and a nice break

: here on the forums sometimes...

: What about a solution? How could this be "fixed"? Would it
: be reasonable for hobbiest/pet 'owners' to sell their
: CB baby iggies to the wholesalers? What about direct to the
: pet stores? Seems like it would make more of an impact
: selling (or giving?) baby igs to the wholesalers, but then
: again, thousands would still die from poor living conditions
: and stress from being there. So, then I guess the best choice
: besides advertising CB igs (which many people who want an igauna
: don't even realize that breeders OR rescues exist!) is to
: sell them to pet stores for less than they are currently getting
: the WC or farm-raised ones. What do you think? Does this
: sound viable? Then we could include "birth certificates" that
: say when the ig was born, who were the parents, and include
: with that a *good* care sheet and a list of references for
: further research (like Hatfield's _Gren Iguana, Ultimate Owner's
: Manual_ and good web pages and such)
: I'd like to hear some ideas/thoughts about this...
