Colorado Reptile Rescue is bad news

I have never even heard of such a bad rescue center as Colorado Reptile Rescue. I would just like to say if you don't have to deal with them then don't. I will leave it at that unless you need to know why but believe me when I tell you that I am not the only one that thinks this. There are other people that have quit volunteering with them because of their practices.

If you're going to post on the BOI, then you MUST post proof, not just accusations, or a "don't deal with them" type message. People can't make an educated decision without proof and more info.

Jenn is right. Without details this thread doesn't have much of a life expectancy.

Actually people can post broad generic messages such as this here. It's just that without details, most people will not believe what is being said, and often the person posting such a thread will wind up on the defensive.

Details are requested, not proof. If you feel the need to prove your details, well that is fine, but not mandatory. Verifiable details (facts) will go a long way in establishing your own credibility here.

Colorado Reptile Rescue is a great organization, housing more green iguanas than any other rescue in the nation.

Their services to the reptile community are obviously needed. It's a shame, but I am glad there are good people out there willing to step up to the plate.

They are thorough with their adoption applications, and honestly concerned with putting animals in good permanent homes.

Quite frankly, I can't see anything bad about any of this.

It would be appreciated if you post the reason for such a hostile post.

"I have never heard of such a bad rescue center as Colorado Reptile Rescue."

This statement leads me to believe that you did not get this information first hand, but rather "heard" it from another source. Please clarify.

I've adopted several box turtles from CORR, and two of my friends also adopted multiple box turtles from them. All of us were very happy with the healthy animals we received. I've read CORR's posts on a couple of other lists where we're both members and I have nothing but respect for what they do and their knowledge of herps.

You know, this guy's bitter and unsubstantiated claims do
not strike me as odd at all. He sounds just like a guy who
applied for some animal there and was denied. This is
his petty way of trying to get back at them.

We need to know why.
