In Reply to: Re: One last post for me about breeding iguanas posted by filthy on August 12, 1999 at 06:14:03:

having a circle of people and telling a story to the person to my right.....who tells it to the person to their right......and when it comes back around......geeeeez it's a whole new story!!!!!

I......HD.......said ALL breeding......whether it's CB, imported,private, shipped from Mars.....I don't really care.....bottom line....none! By the way,....I don't believe Boas' were ever priced at 4.99 each...unlike iguanas. Your theory can't really be used since pricing isn't even close.
Next.....you mentioned dogs cats..etc.. well, talk about a loaded set of animals......herded to death because they're not wanted. JFYI, I have 3 rescued dogs, and 2 rescued cats. But my point being.....I am focusing on iguanas NOT these other animals.....although there is plenty to do with those animals too. I also never said anything about ALL unwanted iguanas finding homes first before starting up CB breeding again.
What I hear and read is, if I want to be selfish I have that right. Since, some people feel that they have every right to have a new born iguana, while thousands are dying.....this would be a sign that humans are superior above all other species on earth??????????? Wow......hate to see some dumb thoughts Man kind, for the most part is suppose to be intelligent, why not show it, ....I'll tell you why, it comes down to 2 things....greed and personel gain, with nothing getting in the way of either. Example to me how the rainforest is disappearing. Is it from natural causes......NO.....humans.....who pays the price.....we don't......animals do. For the most part very few people care about it,oh they may say they do , but when it comes down to it, they don't want to give up anything to help the cause. What are any of us willing to give up to help the iguana cause????? Some say it's NOT their problem and they're not willing to give anything....others have. Education alone isn't going to solve this problem, stopping any kind of breeding isn't going to solve it alone, rescueing all the iguanas isn't going to solve it either, but combining all of the above, I believe would!!!! But if we leave one of them out, we add many more years to solving the problem. I truly believe if everyone just said NO for two years we'd have a grip on the problem. Promote adoption and rescue, don't buy iglets, educated the public, force petstores to stop carrying imported iglets.
Now......since my blood pressure is back up again
Can I ask everyone to please just drop this issue.....No one is going to change my mind and I'm sure I'm not going to change anyone elses.......Do what you want......breed to your hearts delight!!!!!
My beliefs are just that.......MINE !
