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 a follow-up on this issue.
Times are certainly changing. Yesterday I was doing some shopping in a local store (we live in a small rural town). There were several bins, one with bunnies and several other with baby chicks and ducklings. There was a sign hanging on top of them that read: "You must be 18 years or older to purchase live animals".
Regards.

Just wait, you guys are worried about being sued by mom or dad, the day is coming when some smart kid, with a smarter lawyer, decides to sue one of you for age discrimination because you refused to sell him a herp (LOL)

What about online?
I am sure many sales to minors have been made without the seller/s even knowing it!
Not exactly hard for a child to bid on ebay using thier parents user name. Kids frequently have access to their parents credit cards as well.
I had a bid from an 11 year old on ebay once, then got an email from the parent explaing what had happened. I had no clue it was a child bidding.
I guess there is a difference between buying a burger and a live animal. The burger you eat. The animal you are responsible, if it gets loose and causes an accident.... you the seller could be held liable for selling it to a minor.
It's a murky situation!

There are only two things that are illegal to sell to a minor . . .They are cigarettes and alcohol.

Whatever you're trying to post, it didn't make sense.
There are no other laws that state specifically this or that cannot be sold to a minor. Only against cigarettes and alcohol.
There is the legally binding contrast stuff but that is a grey area and can be interpreted different by each and every person who reads it..

Yes, you are right it didn't make much sense now that I read it. What I meant was that you were leaving several other out. But now I understand you were referring to minors exclusively, and thus controlled substances and drugs are not included. What I believe does apply though to minors is x-rated material.
Take care.
