You need to realize we need people on ALL sides of it, front end back end and the ones in the middle helping to educate the petstores.No I dont think in this day and age tehre will EVER be a time when everyone will boycot pet stores, I dont think its realistic. Im glad you choose to be an activist in your own way but you need to respect and understand that the ones acting on other parts are just as important as the ones trying to stop it to begin with. But you came on here and TOTALLY blasted someone who was given an iguana out and out yelled at him for purchasing a pet stoer iguana which is NOT what he did. IF you post on a public forum and you are so "vocal"about your opions you have to realize others are goign to be just as vocial as theres. Dosent make one right or wrong. As a matter afact theres always THREE sides to a story, your side (FIGURTIVLY SPEAKING), My side, and then THE TRUTH. You will truly get farther being nice than you will screaming at someone that did nothing wrong, doing that just turns your opion into a virtual smack in the face and basically accomplishes nothing.

: Well then. What makes you think my one post a day "yelling" at that one person is all I do? If I voice my opnion, maybe others will agree, and then more people. There are already many people who take this course of action. Not to mention coutless pet store visits, countless letters to my prime minister, mayor, local commitee, President, etc. Not enough? I boycott petstores, because if everyone did that WOULD work. Sorry if you think everyone wont and maybe they wont but thats my choice. I'd rather work at the root of the problem than the tail end. Which included writing to people dealing with importation, and importers as well. You, I already have, can write letters to countries EXPORTING iguanas outlining why it would be more financially abundant to keep the iguanas there. Etc.
