These Michigan raids were related to the Columbus Show

If I'm not mistaken. Do you know the names of these people?? Drop me an email Contact Me if it's who I think it is, they were related for sure!! Sad day in the herp community when Ohio is meesing with us!! I think mammals were part of it but not all, alot of BS went on inside (I'm a vendor) and there were alot of very unhappy people. You know what sucks even worse??? The Dept. doing the raids don't even know the local laws/regulations. I witnessed their "expert" looking through his "Peterson's Field Guide" to try to identify various species via methods of "sketched" illustrations. He was wrong on more than one occassion - TRUST ME. What a crock...bad day. I feel for all the good people that set-up, and run the show. They're some of the best in the hobby for sure!! Although all went fairly well, and most cooperated but I still think those guys/girls are a big freaking joke.
