Wow. You should consider suing whoever taught you reading comprehension in grade school. No one, ever, said Underground shouldn't be shipping animals. As has been stated repeatedly, this post was to inform people that snakes shipped from Underground may be infected (in my opinion and that of my vet) and that we need feedback from anyone who has bought snakes from them regarding the health of the animals purchased.
The rest of that stuff you just made up in your head guy.
Maybe you can get your hands on some breathing salts?
For someone who's trying to paint himself as a "good guy" you sure do get defensive when anyone questions you. Calling people names is a great way to prove how much of a Good Samaritan you are I've found, you should definitely keep it up. You're more than welcome to look into my educational background if you think that's the issue here; I think you'll find it more than adequate
.
So just to be clear, this thread was made to inform people that snakes sent by underground MIGHT be sick (based on your opinion and the vets...which of course means such a huge amount given zero test results). Is that why you stated very specifically that they sent you sick snakes (no question made, it was a statement made by you as Lucille has quoted).
Funny that's your argument now. Did you forget the very first post you made?
"Hello all - I bought new born water snakes from Underground Reptiles this summer.
They have developed a disease that vets have speculated is Snake Fungal Disease (SFD).
I have spent $185 testing one of the snakes for the disease. If you're not familiar with it,
SFD is a contagious, potentially lethal fungal disease that is killing wild snakes, as well as captives. It has no known cure.
I have had others tell me they bought snakes from Underground Reptiles that died with symptoms similar to SFD."
So you're not saying it's SFD, just that it's most likely SFD and a bunch of other people have also had snakes with the same symptoms that died. There is no cure and regardless, whatever disease it is, it without question originated at UR (your words). Where are all of those other people?
I think you're right, my reading comprehension must just be abysmal, because to me it doesn't sound like there's a lot of questioning going on here. You are STATING your snake has SFD based on your opinion and are STATING multiple other people have had theirs die from similar symptoms (again, who are these people and why haven't they verified your claims?).
You say that no one said underground shouldn't be shipping out any animals. I guess this statement you made on page one is slightly out of place then:
"If a relatively big dealer is sending dangerously infected snakes all over the country its really a bigger deal than just good guy / bad guy."
So since the point of this thread is to save the world (or whatever nonsense reason you're trying to play off), what is the solution to underground "sending dangerously infected snakes all over the country" if not that they stop shipping animals? You obviously consider yourself more intelligent than me, so maybe you can help to clear up what you meant, since my feeble little brain only managed to comprehend it how it was written. If this is an incurable, lethal disease that wipes out entire species, and you're claiming that underground has it in their stock, what solution is possible other than the one that you already blatantly implied?
For someone who had better hope and pray that they receive definitive test results proving this is SFD and that it without a shred of doubt came from underground reptiles, you're the last person who should be talking about suing people. Personally I'd recommend finding an attorney for yourself sooner than later, because if UR can prove they're not responsible, and you made this thread about them without even a shred of proof, you're going to be in for a wild ride. I can't even imagine what sort of a price you can value this level of libel at.
Keep your fingers crossed that you're right. That's all I can say at this point.
