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.

My knee jerk reaction to them banning anyone posting links here is one of disappointment, but I believe the reason they are trying to prevent such things from being posted is because they detract from the conservation and preservation message - their first focus.
In other words: I don't believe USARK is in anyone's pocket. I believe USARK is an incorrect avenue for BOI-style posts (on anyone) to be posted, and that their reaction would be the same regardless of which side was bringing it up. I think they want people viewing their posts to focus on the good of the event, not the person holding it.

I agree. With no court rulings, and waves of legislation impacting reptile keepers, I do not see the benefit of allowing this discussion on their page. Also, they have every right to monitor and control what is posted there.

I agree. It's turned into an us against them thing. I'd be removing the negative press as well. Nobody in the reptile industry needs that right now. It makes the animals look more like commodities rather than living things. It's a shame this had to blow up the way it did. Unfortunately this is what happens when you have a whole community in your ear telling you what you should do.

Fauna Mods should end this tread. What a waste of time. Of the thousands of transactions Ty Park did this year, 2 of them comes back with unhappy customers. This one and one earlier this year with a Russian Tortoise. Michelle should refrain from posting things other than updates from the court, like what she said earlier.

fresno.... fauna mods should ban you from existing for having an opinion!!! right?? wrong!!!
if it wasn't for fauna and the BOI there would be ALOT more horror stories than there currently are. you can choose who to believe and who not to trust. that's the beauty of the BOi (in my opinion). it allows you to form your own opinion based on what you observe. understanding that this community would hope the threads within the BOI contain factual information, the ones that do not contain facts and true evidence will be pointed out rather quickly by the people in this community....which hopefully will keep the threads in check and not let people get bashed for no reason.
you said "Of the thousands of transactions Ty Park did this year, 2 of them comes back with unhappy customers". assuming Ty has not dealt with the other issue, he has 2 issues to address!! hiding behind and taking praise from his supporters is not the answer. as ive said before, its actually reckless because they are giving false hope. this is all comedy to me at this point because the OP has, in my opinion, a ROCK SOLID case against Ty.

Tina...exactly!!
I'm sure everyone here knows that Ty has not made a habit of scamming people. we would have seen it on the BOI if that were the case. its of no surprise to me (and likely others here) that Ty has made many positive transactions. i am glad that you see that Ty is wrong. positives will not undo a wrong doing. he could make it right and do what is right by the OP but for whatever you chooses not to. I'm being honest when i say that i HONESTLY feel like his supporters giving him false hope is what is encouraging him to continue to do the wrong thing. maybe he is embarrassed to admit he was wrong and now he feels too much time has gone by, too many eyes are on this issue, and he feels like he will be labeled differently. who knows what a person is thinking. maybe he feels like a court judgment against him is better than a settlement. i have a tough time believing that Ty doesn't think/know he is wrong. anyone with a brain, in this situation, would know they are wrong.

Holy cow, I think this is a first.....a Ty supporter who actually thinks for themselves! Kudos for not letting his aura precede his actions.

Who are you to dictate what the OP should or shouldn't do? Or what the Fauna mods should do for that matter. She has a voice and wants it to be heard. She doesn't have a voice over on FB because he bans anyone with an opinion that doesn't match his. You guys are over there calling her greedy and insane. Talking about defending yourselves with guns. That is more disturbing to me than anything that's been posted here.
