I am not saying that you will always succeed, but one should certainly always strive for this. I guess that is why I am confused about why are upset about Ty trying to test Michelle. I know if I had seconds thoughts about selling someone an animal I would certainly try to apply some sort of test to gauge their worthyness. Now was this Ty's intention? Only he can say for sure.

If this were the case, which I am very doubtful but I am no mind reader so I will give the benefit of the doubt, then Ty had included a cash payout in the raffle terms. If he was at all concerned about the safety of the animal in Michelle's care (which again, I highly doubt) then why would he be trying to force her to take another breeder's Tegu over the money she was rightly owed (as per his own terms). Seems a simple solution to pay out the cash if the animal's welfare was his concern, rather than his own ego. It is a good point, however it's a point more against Ty than for.
