Something about their post disturbs me...
1. Are we going out & actively purchasing them & spending money on folks to make them? No.
Then please do explain the next sentence!!!!
2. Some were
bought several years ago from a
single individual who is no longer in the reptile business.
As well as whether or not you bought from a broker of butchered animals or directly from a butcher???
Either way, you spent money to purchase voids and did in fact know it and were fully aware of it at the time.
3. Those particular animals are all under lock & key since we have limited background info on them
Which particular animals?
The venomous from F&G or all of the rescues?
Which leads me to conclude that yes, you DID spend money ($$$) for 'some' animals.
Since it seems you are saying that all of the animals from F&G as well as the rescues are kept locked away from anyone, then I can safely say that
ALL of the animals displayed that day were
BOUGHT in the full knowledge that they were/are venomoids.
