    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Bad Guy Ty park/ ty lizards FL

I am backing out of this thread. I know you will all laugh and take it as fun entertainment, I just don't see this going anywhere. It is quite dogmatic on here, and there is no progress happening.

I support reptile conservation, and I do not hesitate in defending it. That is my stance, and I will always stand by it.

My support and love goes out to all of the animals and reptiles in the world, and people often forget that we are dealing with ANIMALS, with LIVES. These animals that we deal with every day are being tossed away as nothing more than a $$ dollar sign $$.

This is why I give up, because you have all forgotten your true passion, which is the love for these beautiful creatures. It is all about ego, pride, and of course, the $$$.

Michelle, you do deserve your $500. So, I hope you get that.

Good night, or day, everyone. Take care, and I hope no one holds onto any bad feelings - I know that I do not about anyone on here.

Night ;) ;)

We can't post in Ty's page as he convienently blocked me. Made his posts public but only his friends can comment. And god forbid
Some Me posts against him. Bam the comment is
Removed and the person is banned.
He posts just parts of things dot keep yaall on his side while trying to smear my name.
If the ircf gets sued it it BECASE ty forces my arm

But remember they just raised over 3000 to prove a point and could use that to to end this if ty still refuses to send me the t+ tegu
 
Amber Dawson with the latest, greatest attempt to go to bat for Ty, aaaaaaaaaand strike 1, 2, 3......she's outta here!

Seriously people.....stop coming on here and making fools of yourselves without having gathered all the info. Its getting embarrassing.
 
It is all about ego, pride, and of course, the $$$.
At this point, I decided to tell Michelle and others that, although I produced albino tegus, they were all expensive type and that I would buy 3 normal T- tegus from a friend to send to them.

Amber, you nailed it. It was Ty's greed for $$$ that started this entire issue, and his ego and pride is preventing him (and the IRCF) from fulfilling their own obligations. Really, at this point, those people looking to donate to a good cause might do well to consider avoiding donating to Ty and the IRCF.
If they won't keep their word to Michelle, who knows what other financial irregularities they might be engaging in. It is not as if other non profits have not been caught in financial hanky panky in the past.
The words 'non profit' do not exempt an organization from fulfilling promised obligations (like awarding advertised prizes), and those who try to weasel out of their obligations are to me, suspect.

You do realize that you are trying rationalize why your argument must be right and everyone else is wrong. In this case you are putting down any arguments that are not convenient to your cause.

I support reptile conservation, and I do not hesitate in defending it. That is my stance, and I will always stand by it.

Your not really standing by reptile conservation with your argument, your attempting to justify why what Ty did was acceptable to you and whoever ... the two are not the same thing. If you were standing for reptile conservation you would have pressured Ty to make the situation right as that would resolve the whole issue and remove the IRCF or any other non-profit from descending into the quagmire. Instead you are pressuring another person to "take one for the team" and suck it up, that is closer to bullying than it is to standing up for conservation of any kind (well except conserving Ty's bottom line).

My support and love goes out to all of the animals and reptiles in the world, and people often forget that we are dealing with ANIMALS, with LIVES. These animals that we deal with every day are being tossed away as nothing more than a $$ dollar sign $$.

Do you see the irony in the above statement? Ty tossed the whole agreement as to the prize out the window because of the dollar remember the whole thing about much more expensive animals so they couldn't be used as the raffle prizes? Why aren't you making that argument to Ty to put this thing to bed? Since your not making it to Ty, we can pretty much be sure that your not in it for the animals or their lives ... but someone else's bottom line.


This is why I give up, because you have all forgotten your true passion, which is the love for these beautiful creatures. It is all about ego, pride, and of course, the $$$.

See above and no... the forum has not lost sight of this at all and this is an attempt at deflection, ad hominem etc, the people here simply think that it is not right to deprive a person potentially through illegal means of what they are due. Fundamentally your trying to argue that as long as an potentially illegal action is used to support some non-profit cause, it is acceptable, and you should know that is not a valid argument ethically or legally.

Everyone who purchased tickets supported the reptile foundation.

But everyone who won deserves the prize.

However, because I know you are very possibly attacking a very important conservation effort, after you have gotten back the money that you deserved, you lost me. And, you also made me rethink everything that I had read in this thread. Your intent seems malicious now, therefore I do not agree with what you are doing. You are biting off more than you can chew, and you are messing with a very beautiful organization to get more money.

Years back, when the stories started coming out about the secret sexual abuse of some children by priests in the Catholic Church, this was the exact argument used to try to silence the reports of the victims. That because the church was a good and holy organization, any detractions would be counterproductive.

To me, organizations for good causes whether they be the Catholic Church or the IRCF, owe MORE of a duty to make sure that their dealings are ethical and wholesome, and that they have complied with their obligations.

Michelle is owed her advertised prize.

Is this a troll? This has to be a troll. I can't see any intelligent human being seriously believing this.
 
The only matter of consequence to the judge will be the CONTRACT and its FULFILLMENT.
Ty and the IRCF created a contract (raffle) that the OP entered into willingly when she bought tickets. The criteria for winning was clearly stated. The prize to be won was very specifically and very clearly stated and, unfortunately (tfb) for Ty, identified without a value limitation. OP won, prize needs to be handed over. If Ty has disposed of (given away or sold, or otherwise no longer in his possession) the stipulated prize (which per the contract must be bred by Ty), then the JUDGE has the means to hold Ty to a monetary payment equal to said prize, as determined by current market values. CMV should be very easy to determine because Ty himself stated a value for the animals offered and the animals actually produced, and how could he disagree with himself? The only QUESTION left is will the OP receive the monetary value of the lesser end animal or the actually produced high end animal. That will be at the DISCRETION of the judge. It is very possible that all the BS will result in the OP receiving the higher dollar value, but that is not guaranteed.
Any other possible irregularities would be the venue of a different court, and not issues within the scope of the OP's case.

You're comparing this to child sex abuse? You're off your rocker, old lady.
 
Seems a fair comparison, it's another scenario where the action is unethical but the victim is unable to defend themselves without being seen as being against the group rather than the action or individual. Sometimes it's hard for those who feel passionately about the goal of the organization (or religion) to see past that, and see that the behavior itself is what is being condemned, not the group as a whole. The fact is that no organization is exempt from behaving ethically. The idea that Michelle is holding them to their legal obligation, but they are a nonprofit, is what seems to be bothering people. It seems to be the only argument anyone has left. Michelle is being villainized for involving them, however it was Ty who involved them, not her.

That nails it in my opinion.
 
Two raffle winners are sitting at home playing with tegus, and one raffle winner is threatening a lawsuit against a reptile conservation nonprofit while her friends compare that conservation effort to rampant rape of children in the catholic church. Ridiculous
 
no whats ridiculous is the way ty treated michelle and how he said she was greedy and he doesnt think she deserved what she won , and to me he is the greedy one and mike u are friends with him so thats why u support him and thats fine but u can go on and on all u want he was WRONGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG PLANNNNNNNNN ANDDDDDDDDDD SIMPLEEEEEEEEEEEE like i said i have bought from him in the past will i buy from him him again hell no not after seeing his true character all he had to do was tell her where the tegu was coming from and send a pic of it i sure like to know where my reptile is coming from but ty being the selfish person that he is just blasted her and made his opinion of her and he was wrong and anybody that supports him on what he did is nuts , the facts are plan simple and right in your face and i understand that his friends want to support him i get it but u know he was wrong but will never just come out and say it and yes this is stupid he should just send her what he owes her point blank and respect that he has the reptile foundations and breeds hundreds of reptiles but that doesnt make him to be able treat somebody like they are nothing cause if the world ending right now and god came and said ty were u wrong for what u did to michelle ? what do u think his answer would be ? i wonder i already know what it would be , ty knows he was wrong hes just to high strung to admit it and mike u have great business outback reptiles i got alot of friends who have bought from u and do great job so i wasnt posted this post towards u im just saying ty is very wrong and he should make it right and avoid all the trouble with court and just crap that goes along with it
