I'M BOYCOTTING NAPLES ZOO
 

And this is why:
I was planning on taking a trip to a zoo in the next week or so. I like to visit zoos and state parks to take photos now & then. So...I'm on on-line, checking out the Florida zoos. Been to Lowery Park in Tampa a few times, been to Central Florida Zoo in Sanford, so I'm thinking about checking out the Naples Zoo.
I'm checking out the website, it's looking good, I'm liking what I see...then I get to this page:

I'm scrolling down the page, checking out the pictures, doing some reading...and then I see this photo, which, in itself is not adorable by any means...

Attachment 83813

but it's the caption that made my blood boil:

"Burmese pythons don't make good pets. So many former pets have been released they are believed to be reproducing in the Everglades. This unlucky python finds itself in the jaws of an alligator where it was photographed by Mike Mercier."

So, join me, if you will, in getting the word out about this zoo. Don't just tell all your reptile friends, TELL ALL YOUR FRIENDS! Post it on other forums if you feel as strongly as I do about this!

I am going to give it a few days to see how much interest this thread generates, then I'm going to e-mail them with a link to it.
I think they need to know how irresponsible that one little statement is!

I'm boycotting Troi Lilly.

Just so you know, I won't be visiting until you take down your... this thread!

So people, join me if you will in getting your word out about this nonsensical double post! Don't just tell your reptile friends, tell ALL your friends! Don't post it on other forums though, that would be silly.

I'm going to give it a few days to see how much interest this thread generates and then I'm going to email her a link back to it. I think she needs to know how irresponsible her one little crusade is!

Seamus,
GOOD FOR YOU! If you feel that passionate about it, I say GO FOR IT!
And just so you know, before I read your post, I had already decided that it may have been a bit of over kill to post it twice...so I was going to ask that this one be removed.
But just so you know, YOU HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH IT!
Other people are capable of coming to intelligent conclusions without your help...
Thanks for your input!

Since there is already an active thread (with the same title) in the Sound Off forum, I'm closing this one. To get to the other thread, click here
