Sara Gatto, aka clarinet45, aka Mezclado Reptilia, not to be trusted

AND......It is OUR business. If she cannot be trusted to pay back a debt and be truthful to people about why she cannot pay, then she is not trustworthy to do business with and the community needs to know about it.

She ruined her own reputation by doing this.

Honesty could have prevented this mess AND she could have responded right away and put this to rest. Instead she waits 18 pages and posts a blurb that explained nothing.

Her reputation was actually flawed from 18 pages of everybody getting nasty. BOI's are cool but at the same time they are nonsense. Forums are kind of nonsense. Its really a place you don't have to be seen and can't get beaten up so when your having a bad day go to Fauna! Ha! I agree with everybody but the 18 pages of bashing was gross. Just my opinion.

Interesting; you get on your soapbox and judge other posters for judging her? Why exactly do you feel you have the right to post your opinion, but other people don't have the right to post their opinions? Hypocrisy at its finest.....

This is how it affects ALL of us.

Would you pull an animal off the market for her if she said she was mailing the payment?

Would you allow her to set up a payment plan on an animal?

Would you be comfortable buying from her? Do you think you would get a full an immediate refund if something went wrong?


I would not hold an animal for her, set up a payment plan for her, or buy from her based upon how she treated people who helped her out.

Well, this is just my opinion. It’s people like you with this kind of mentality that allows scammers and some with poor judgements, flourish on the Internet.

To those that are out money, I’m sure they appreciate you calling their plight nonsense. This forum was designed to inform others and exert this type of peer pressure on others that would take advantage. Our lack of compassion is gross? What I find horribly gross is your cavalier attitude.

An people outside of the situation hounding her outside of Fauna, thats really unethical.

You got to be kidding! I'm tired and been at the dentist for hours today. Maybe I shouldn’t be posting this, but I think you are the disgrace and people like you that try to blame everyone but the victim. She should be hounded until she makes it right. If you don’t like what this forum is designed for, don’t let the door hit you on the rump on the way out.

You know what. Now that I think about this, I am no longer going to offer payment plans. After this last animal I have been holding is paid in full, that's it.

Money up front and in full from now on. It looks like once again people you thought were good guys can screw people over.

One of my favorite posts they goes to your witch hunt statement.

There are always minor disagreements, of course, but I think it would be much more surprising (and disappointing) if there were NOT a core group of people here whom were willing to attempt a form of peer pressure to have things done right.

After all, the only power the BOI has is this sort of pressure. There is no BOI police force going to go knocking on some bad guy's door late at night. All it can do is to be a public record of the dealings of someone that will be an open book to potential customers. It is the potential customers that will decide whether or not to do business with someone mentioned in here. The BOI cannot TELL anyone what to do.

So yes, if someone posts here and their argument is weak, lacking in details, or just plain unbelievable, they certainly may get 'jumped on'. But if they state the facts, make what they are saying clearly presented and truthful, they will NEVER have a problem here. That is the way is should be. NO one posting a bad guy or good guy post here should be taken at face value. It is not fair to anyone if that were to be the case.

Fitting for this thread.

There are still us good people out there that will honor payment plans!

It was the initial understanding and compassion that got these men screwed in the first place!!!!

You are entitled to your opinion, but that still doesn't change the fact that someone is out money because someone else didn't honor their side of the bargain. Sara did wrong, and is getting called out on it.

This is the BOI. This is what the forum is for....

I really don't think there would have been a witch hunt (which I personally don't think happened anyway) if she had contacted the opening poster and explained the situation or answered earlier in the thread (not 18 pages in with a one sentence reply)
