I just need to clarify something here...

Some of you here know me, but I am sure that most of you do not. I am basically a lurker on the BOI, have been for a looong time even. Apparantly someone that utilizes this board took it upon themselves to send an email to someone I am adopting an albino burm from. The owner of the burm contacted me in regards to such and pointed out some things that were said in regards to who I am and what I do with the reptiles I work with by this person.
First off I need to clarify exactly who I am. YES My name is LORI... NO I am NOT the same person who seems to be referenced in another post here[ really looong one posted by Mr. Lawson] by one of the names they go by of LORI &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> She obviously seems to have a NOT so honest life style going on within the reptiles world, as well as some inscrupulous disregard for reptilian life. The person who sent the email stated that I "grab" rescues /adoptions from people and then "sell" them to someone who then kills the snakes and uses their "skin" for boots. To say the least I was speechless when I read such in my email from the snake/burm's present owner.
NOT only do i do reptile rescue/adoption BUT I also do rehab that's needed and transport of rescues on the east coast. I keep my own personal collection which consists of over 50 reptiles at the present time. NONE of which are so much as contemplated as being nor are they ever taken care of improperly, let alone sold off to such a low life form as this other LORI appears to be. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> [ Ritchie..IF I ever found out that you skinned Princess to make yourself a pair of boots..I WILL be at your door ! lol I know ya better than that Ritchie hehe &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> ] I would NEVER do such a thing knowingly with any reptile placed in my care. As for the "selling" part....I do NOT make so much as $0.01 in dealing with reptile rescues &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> Any adoption fees which I may charge for a reptile I place do NOT come near covering the expenses incurred while they are in my care. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
This particular snake/burm was coming into me as part of my personal collection. YES it's a rescue..NO it's NOT being placed up for adoption even..let alone being sold on my part out of my collection [ AND that is if I manage to straighten out what this person has caused by sending the email without having their facts straight even and still get the burm/snake <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> ] OH and thanx a lot too for having compromised such from possibly happening ! This burm/snake I wanted for my personal collection in order to have her specific specie to utilize in my reptile educational showings which I do. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
I am also the LORI who admins on redtailboa.net/org...and also on redtailboas.com any person could figure out "what/who" I am just by my posts on there [b]AND[/] see that I am NOT the person you portrayed me to be even in your email to the burms owner. &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
Nice touch using a return email addy that was false also for your email.
I have one suggestion for you...Next time you state "your facts" in regards to someone...MAKE SURE YA GOT YOUR FACTS STRAIGHT FIRST AND YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT THE RIGHT PERSON !
Ritchie [ Luna} ?? Do me a favor and tell the **moron**
[ whoever they are] they targeted the wrong person in that email please. Thanx.
Sorry for the long rant.BUT someone stepped out of line and on my toes &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/mad.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

LORI KEHOE

I just want to say, I have spoken to Lori Kehoe online
and in personal email and she is not the "Lori" this person
thinks... Lori Kehoe is a wonderful lady who does some
great work in reptile rescue.. I've seen pics of animals she's
taken in and worked with... animals that most shelters, etc
would probably have just put down.. she is very commited to
her animals and takes SUPURB care of them.. From what I
know of Lori, she would be APPAULED at the thought of
selling a rescue for skin-trade use. &nbsp;She doesn't even offer
adoptions up until they are in good shape and totally
rehabbed! &nbsp;She also does not charge fees and in fact has
done trips several times over several states to help drop
off/place and pick up resuces... a very stand-up lady.
I hope you can clear up this missunderstanding Lori..
feel free to have this person contact me if you need another
reference... good luck.

The biggest Travisty out there is that a truly good person like Lori Kehoe is forced to come on this site and defend herself.

I'm not going to get all longwinded about this like I usually do because this is silly. &nbsp;Lori is one of the nicest, most caring people I know when it comes to her reptiles. &nbsp;I know for a fact that it sickens her to think about someone killing snakes for their skin. &nbsp;She certainly is not selling her animals to anyone who would do such.

Any more question about this issue can be taken up with me personally as I truly think of this as Libel and Slander.

This is a misunderstanding with two persons with the same first name. spam_Lori Kehoe is an administrator of a very informative forum that I am lucky to be a member of. spam_Her love for snakes is immeasurable. spam_She jumps on the chance to take care of an available snake. spam_She will drive miles and miles just to make that sacrifice. spam_Its all there in black and white. spam_Her love for snakes even reflects on her member name...Lori SnakesRule. spam_Just go to www.redtailboa.net and read her posts. spam_Her world revolves around snakes. spam_To say otherwise is ridiculous. spam_It's a shame that people should say false things about the wrong person without doing some logical research first.

Its too bad Lori This happened, I am sure it won't go far
I hope you get the snake
hey Puppy and Jay , The rules say full name <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>
peace

i talk to lori kehoe on a regular basis and she is in my book a REALLY great person &nbsp;and she might actaully be takin a sidetrip to pick up my dumerils to bring it to another rtb.net/org member which owns multiple ammounts of boids
so please do NOT mistake her for someone else <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''>

Hey Lori,
I am wearing albino boots.........he he he
Just kidding. &nbsp;I always keep princess on that live video thing.
Her previous owner can see her from there. &nbsp;She was also happy to see from the video that Princess has a boyfriend.

Anyway you got my e-mail. &nbsp;Forward the stuff to me.
Do you know who this person is? &nbsp;Was it an accident? &nbsp;a simple mistake? &nbsp;or was there malice involved?

Because even though there is a bad Lori out there. &nbsp;I don't know of ANY Lori's who sell reptiles to make snake skin boots or whatever. &nbsp;Who is this person that was spreading rumors?

Jay and Puppy.
I know who you guys are. spam_I know you exist. spam_I know you are real people. spam_ But these people don't know who you are. (To them you could just be someone Lori made up), so please post with full name.
Also posting without a full first name and last name is against the rules of this forum. spam_So please come back and post your full name and last name.

or

put it into your signature and it will appear automatically for you on all previous and future posts.

thanks

Okay I just saw where the Burm was being offered.

You say your name was confused with another Lori.

The other Lori does not sell Reptiles for snake boots. (at least I did not see that post)

the burm was offered on mice on ice. &nbsp; The lady with the burm got an e-mail saying you sell snakes for reptile boots. &nbsp;The e-mail came with a fake return e-mail.

Who is mad at you? &nbsp;Whose name is posted as a trouble adopter on mice on ice?
Who wants to get back at you?

If this person really believed that you are a moderator of an adoptions forum...and that you were bad....Don't you think this person would have told the owner of the site already.

Come on Lori. &nbsp;You know who did this...I know who did this. &nbsp;it does not take a genious to figure it out. &nbsp;

WHO MIGHT BE TRYING TO GET REVENGE ON YOU? &nbsp;that is the same person who sent that e-mail off.

You and I know who it is. &nbsp;It is the same person who got a burm almost the same time I did. &nbsp;I also told you the burm this person was getting should stay with me. &nbsp;Specially after the comment you made that you thought this person could not handle such a large animal

Thanx to all of you who took the time and posted here &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> I appreciate it &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> &nbsp;
Ritchie I sent you an email in response to yours. I had actually thought about that person being the one who had sent out the email to the owner of the burm/snake while at a friends home today working on 2 rehabs that I have that are ...umm were now &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=''> ...in bad shape. This person is the only person I know of that would have such a vendetta against me and do such a thing. A fraudulent, dishonest, corrupt or however type of person you'd want to note them as being ; who has had the FACTS of a reptile adoption being placed with them in such a manner in a public forum by myself and others involved in that adoption...Would most likely do such a thing as having sent the email out to the snake's owner with false statements in it. Your most likely correct per usual Ritchie &nbsp;<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'> &nbsp;BTW..She is a user of the BOI also...
