Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Just so everyone knows. I (in person, face to face) spoke with someone at Animal Friends of the Valley (the local animal control). I was told that nothing was going to leave that facility it would all be euthanized...I was there to offer assistance because I have empty cages. They started this because of poor living conditions. Go figure..

Sounds like the PETA way.
"Oh you mean you have pets? KILL THEM ALL"
Sad that you couldn't help out.

This article is from PETA......so I don't support it, but the photos posted are really telling of who Mitch Behm really is. He is a sick-man who cares about money only. I hope they throw him in a slammer and treat him like he treated the animals under his "care."

LAKE ELSINORE: Thousands of animals are euthanized in breeder case

A Text Size BY JOHN F. HILL The Press Enterprise
BY JOHN F. HILL | STAFF WRITER | Published: December 19, 2012; 03:20 PM | Comments (0) More than 18,400 rodents and 600 reptiles discovered at a breeding business in Lake Elsinore under investigation for animal cruelty have been euthanized.
The animals found at Global Captive Breeders were put down during an investigation into animal cruelty and neglect at the facility, Lake Elsinore said in a news release on Wednesday, Dec. 19.
“After careful analysis, a team of veterinarians, reptile specialists, and animal cruelty investigations experts determined that due to the extreme neglect, cruelty and dangerously unhealthy long-term conditions, contaminated environment and the potential for further suffering, euthanasia was the safest and most humane option for the animals and the community at large,” the city said in a statement.
The facility’s owner, Mitch Behm, agreed to surrender the animals and have them euthanized, the city said.
Mitch, how do you respond to this article??? If you were keeping thousands of animals in such lousy conditions that they all needed to euthenized you need to get the hell out of the live animal business! What the F@%@# is wrong with you??? Not only do guys like you give our enemies the ammo they need to destroy us but you turn the public against us as well. Go sell used cars pal these animals deserve so much better than you!

OMG!!! After clicking on the supplied link, I was in tears from reading the horrible conditions that these animals were kept in, and from seeing the pictures.
How dare you Mitch!! This is horrible and disgusting!! You should get as far away from animals as possible. Do everyone a favor and NEVER have another animal in your care. You are a complete DISGRACE!!

According to all the articles I read, it is not PETA's decision to euthanize these animals. Numerous professionals have given their opinions on the overall health and adoptability of these animals and if those photos and that video are any indication of what these animals have lived in and what condition they are in, euthanizing them is likely the best option.
