    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

I have seen like 4 adds for venomoids on the first page on the classified section and even worse people are wanting too buy these tortured animals! I cant take this anymore it sickens me too even think someone could do that too an animal. This has been aggravating me for days i just want too explode all over these snake mutilators.
 
I do know exactly what you mean, truly. The negative aspects of venomoid animals so outweight anything that people can offer as a counter argument as to make it pretty cut and dry and I am continually amazed that there are people who somehow manage to ignore the ethical issues the entire mess presents.

Rich has made his position on the matter clear though, he isn;t going to regulate ads based on what is potentially questionable legal grounds. He'll remove ads for obviously illegal things offered for sale (I don't thionk anyone has tried it, but ads for narcotics or kiddie porn or something would be gone FAST) but right now since venomoid producers who aren't vets aren't being prosecuted for unlicensed surgery and animal abuse he's staying out of the entire thing. If a few people get nailed for the illegal production, he might feel comfortable enough about the issue to prevent them from being advertised in his classifieds but right now, he can't be faulted for not wanting to get involved in another fight.

What he has done is allowed replies to classified ads. What you can do is ask the person posting the animals for sale who did the surgery, what it entailed, what kind of rehabilitation time has occured, what the credentials of the person performing the surgery are and what kind of guarantee the seller offers about the animal's health. Some people will buy these hacked up snakes anyway but forcing a seller to admit that the "operation" was performed in a garage with an x-acto knife and a sautering gun and dental floss was used in the stitches might prevent a sale or two. If the seller can actually prove that the animals were modified by a vet, then it opens up a huge area for concrete and verifiable information to be gathered which can be put towards stopping this practice entirely.
 
I could not have said it better then Seamus so I will just say
