"The measure of a society can be how well its people treat its animals."

I don't know if they realize it, but this is a real deal breaker for a LOT of people on this site.

If enough people start talking about this on the forums they will get nothing but hundreds of upset users and people leaving the site. I know a lot of Fauna and Kingsnake Users, and they are all are animal lovers to the core, Conservationists at heart, biologist etc. I've even received a few calls from friends telling me ' Can you believe this add... etc etc'.

A 'We don't care' Approach is not really a good approach to deal with this. The name of this Website Is FaunaClassifieds. not Faunafoodmarket. Lets find a solution to this problem.

Yikes. 's getting real. Real deep, that is. All of you are free to vote with your own dollars. Whether that be in regards to the ad in question, or this very website. If you don't like it, don't actively support it. You may not like it, but you've received your answer. Trust me...As someone who's previously been down this road, continuing to complain won't yield any more satisfactory results.

Instead of curtailing freedom and requesting more and more regulation, why can't you show your displeasure on the BOI for a particular vendor who you believe is doing something not in the best interests of their critters? That would certainly affect their business if as you say the consensus is that no one wants that sort of biz here.

Yep, that's right. What country are YOU from? One that has an issue with freedom, I presume? If you did not understand the statement I made about this issue, please find someone more versed with English and have them explain it to you in terms you can understand.

Sorry, but I am not inclined to bow to the wishes of some lynch mob mentality from anyone. I do not care to get in the middle of issues concerning what people buy and sell here, and that is that. It's the same policy I have taken with venomoids, potential local legal violations, and anything else of a controversial nature, or else has a subset of people that get their panties in a wad over. If you would prefer a more gestapo or nanny state type of management for the classifieds here, then by all means seek such a site out and make that your new home.

So in effect, take it or leave it. Wouldn't be the first time, and certainly won't be the last, that some people don't like my decisions.

because you cant just post on BOI because you dont like what they are selling you post on BOI if youve HAD a good or bad experience

Incorrect. A completed transaction is not a prerequisite for initiating a BOI thread. The Ballbids thread is a prime example of this. There's nothing to stop you from posting an INFO thread to call attention to something you feel is wrong.

well in webslaves opinion there is nothing wrong with selling turtles for meat to china so we should just drop it

So it's ok then, to sell bags of chicken nuggets on faunaclassifieds.com then? Because by your masterful ruling, it's perfectly ok to sell food here. This has nothing to do with a lynch mob mentality, you're allowing the sales of food, on a website intended for pets. It's clear, cut, and dry. Shall we start calling you Kim Jong Un? Your reactions to the words of your people, seem pretty similar. I'll be awaiting your nuke threats.

damn....
