on what is going on with needless iguana deaths. Hey, you may not have a problem with countless iguanas dying because people don't know how to care for them.....but I do! And as long as ANYONE buys baby iguanas.....there is going to be a market for them. Supply and demand....that's what it's all about...on the business end. On the buyer's end it's I WANT I WANT...! Heck, I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't want a new hatchling to raise from day one, but there's a difference between wanting....and doing. I know what's right and what is definitely WRONG.
It's like this, even though I might not cause a death, I am still adding to the problem by purchasing an iguana. I'm keeping the market going by doing so. If I say no and YOU say no, and so on....it WILL make a difference, but we all have to make that choice and until we all do, it's going to continue!
But so will I........ preaching Adoption over purchasing!!!
