Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

The only matter of consequence to the judge will be the CONTRACT and its FULFILLMENT.
Ty and the IRCF created a contract (raffle) that the OP entered into willingly when she bought tickets. The criteria for winning was clearly stated. The prize to be won was very specifically and very clearly stated and, unfortunately (tfb) for Ty, identified without a value limitation. OP won, prize needs to be handed over. If Ty has disposed of (given away or sold, or otherwise no longer in his possession) the stipulated prize (which per the contract must be bred by Ty), then the JUDGE has the means to hold Ty to a monetary payment equal to said prize, as determined by current market values. CMV should be very easy to determine because Ty himself stated a value for the animals offered and the animals actually produced, and how could he disagree with himself? The only QUESTION left is will the OP receive the monetary value of the lesser end animal or the actually produced high end animal. That will be at the DISCRETION of the judge. It is very possible that all the BS will result in the OP receiving the higher dollar value, but that is not guaranteed.
Any other possible irregularities would be the venue of a different court, and not issues within the scope of the OP's case.
NB: the caps are to highlight certain specific actions, not yelling

To me, organizations for good causes whether they be the Catholic Church or the IRCF, owe MORE of a duty to make sure that their dealings are ethical and wholesome, and that they have complied with their obligations.
Michelle is owed her advertised prize.

You're comparing this to child sex abuse? You're off your rocker, old lady.

Seems a fair comparison, it's another scenario where the action is unethical but the victim is unable to defend themselves without being seen as being against the group rather than the action or individual. Sometimes it's hard for those who feel passionately about the goal of the organization (or religion) to see past that, and see that the behavior itself is what is being condemned, not the group as a whole. The fact is that no organization is exempt from behaving ethically. The idea that Michelle is holding them to their legal obligation, but they are a nonprofit, is what seems to be bothering people. It seems to be the only argument anyone has left. Michelle is being villainized for involving them, however it was Ty who involved them, not her.

That nails it in my opinion.

Of course the nuances of the comparison and hyperbole are lost on you, Mr. Schultz.....don't you have some more customers to ignore or imports to flip?

Two raffle winners are sitting at home playing with tegus, and one raffle winner is threatening a lawsuit against a reptile conservation nonprofit while her friends compare that conservation effort to rampant rape of children in the catholic church. Ridiculous
