I see that he voluntarily turned them over but having them put down wasn't his decision to make.

He agreed to turn them over so they could be euthanized. I never said he made the decision to euthanize them. He gave the authority for it to happen.

Only those who imported ,bred ,cared and I use that word loosely,are ultimately responsible .I know some will think because they bought animals from him unknowingly ,they share some of the responsibility ,but unless you knew ,you didn't make the choice to treat them that way .Mitch and his crew did .PLAIN AND SIMPLE .Time to police ourselves .Do not knowingly support businesses who practice this disregard for any animal .We all have mortality,and other unfortunate circumstances in our collection ,but never should our circumstances get that bad .

Wes pointed out something I said and I'm glad he did ,we should never be associated with this tragedy ,and if you know of anybody keeping animals in this fashion,challenge them personally before animals are not the only thing they lose .There is a movement ,and although we see them as enemies ,we need to be proactive to the threat they pose .We should be aware ,but never give them the ammunition they seek .I think they sought out Mitch for obvious reasons .Who will be next and WHY?
