    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 Andrew Martinez and Ashlie Lynn Amian - ANIMAL ABUSE

Educate yourself, Andrew and Ashlie.

You do not leave dogs in hot cars for any amount of time. Period. If you just HAD to go to the show, then one of you stays in the car with the A/C on.

Do not be so selfish and dismissive.

Take a look at this video and try telling me or anyone else that you were not being neglectful with your dogs.



Of course people are going to question your ability to care for any animal, especially animals so sensitive to stress as small herps. You cannot even accept responsibility for making a dumb decision when it comes to leaving the dogs in the car.
 
Yea lets justify leaving your dogs in hot car for 2 hours. It takes less then 30 mins for a dog to die of heat exhaustion in a car parked in direct heat! and if parked on black top even less time, as the will begin to get overly hot and unable to drink
 
CALIFORNIA PENAL CODE SECTION 597.7, ENACTED BY SB 1806 (2006)
597.7. (a) No person shall leave or confine an animal in any unattended motor vehicle
under conditions that endanger the health or well-being of an animal due to heat, cold,
lack of adequate ventilation, or lack of food or water, or other circumstances that
could reasonably be expected to cause suffering, disability, or death to the animal.
(b) Unless the animal suffers great bodily injury, a first conviction for violation of this
section is punishable by a fine not exceeding one hundred dollars ($100) per animal. If
the animal suffers great bodily injury, a violation of this section is punishable by a fine
not exceeding five hundred dollars ($500), imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding
six months, or by both a fine and imprisonment. Any subsequent violation of this section,
regardless of injury to the animal, is also punishable by a fine not exceeding five hundred
dollars ($500), imprisonment in a county jail not exceeding six months, or by both a fine
and imprisonment.
(c) (1) Nothing in this section shall prevent a peace officer, humane officer, or an
animal control officer from removing an animal from a motor vehicle if the animal's
safety appears to be in immediate danger from heat, cold, lack of adequate ventilation,
lack of food or water, or other circumstances that could reasonably be expected to cause
suffering, disability, or death to the animal.
(2) A peace officer, humane officer, or animal control officer who removes an
animal from a motor vehicle shall take it to an animal shelter or other place of
safekeeping or, if the officer deems necessary, to a veterinary hospital for treatment.
(3) A peace officer, humane officer, or animal control officer is authorized to
take all steps that are reasonably necessary for the removal of an animal from a motor
vehicle, including, but not limited to, breaking into the motor vehicle, after a reasonable
effort to locate the owner or other person responsible.
(4) A peace officer, humane officer, or animal control officer who removes an
animal from a motor vehicle shall, in a secure and conspicuous location on or within the
motor vehicle, leave written notice bearing his or her name and office, and the address of
the location where the animal can be claimed. The animal may be claimed by the owner
only after payment of all charges that have accrued for the maintenance, care, medical
treatment, or impoundment of the animal.
(5) This section does not affect in any way existing liabilities or immunities in
current law, or create any new immunities or liabilities.
(d) Nothing in this section shall preclude prosecution under both this section and
Section 597 or any other provision of law, including city or county ordinances.
(e) Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prohibit the transportation of horses,
cattle, pigs, sheep, poultry or other agricultural animals in motor vehicles designed to
transport such animals for agricultural purposes.

Hello, I am Aiden, the person who was with Diana when this happened. Andrew, you probably should have asked your girlfriend not to post this if you were going to be abusing your animals.

Also, look carefully at the time stamp. The dogs were recovered from the car at around 3 pm, and had not been claimed nearly 45 minutes later.

While I agree with what is being said in this thread, how can your name be "Aiden", but under the "name" part of your profile it says "Nicole"? :shrug01:

As for Andrew and his Gf...Y'all are pieces of work. You don't leave a dog in the car, no matter what time of year. But to do it when it's hot outside...That's asinine. So if your dogs had died because of your stupidity, then what would you be saying? "Oh, no one tried to help us and our dogs, no one cared...?" Get your priorities in line, and do what's right for the animals, not for your sorry butts. If you have animals in a car, you don't make a "pit-stop" to a reptile expo for a couple of hours. :rolleyes:
 
Andrew n Ashlie how can you have the stones to get on here and defend your actions?! You obviously didn't check on them like you are trying to say or you would have noticed they were being cared for by someone else. If you don't have a sitter or a safe place for them DO NOT GO TO THE SHOW! There is nothing worth potentially sacrificing your pets life in there! Get your priorities straight. Why risk their lives like that. IN MY OPINION YOU GUYS SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO HAVE ANY KIND OF LIFE IN YOUR HANDS! GROW UP AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY

First of all, I didn't leave the dogs in the car the "second time" my fiance was in the car with them. And secondly we came from San Jose to visit my grandma who has :censored: stage cancer that just spread to her liver. So on the way back we wanted to make a quick stop at the show. We were there for more then two hours. We gave the dogs water and took them out to pee. I did not hear an announcement neither did she. And just because misfit pets and us had a ordeal already doesn't make it right them to bash our names like that. Yea we had dogs in the car ,but we made sure they were okay before going back in to talk to a breeder about some leopard geckos. There was even a family that saw us out there on the grass, and another lady pulled up behind our car when we were giving them water. In misfits statement they said that went around the asking if they new the dogs. If that's the case then why didn't we know about it. No one asked us. I didn't see the dogs with them. And let's make one thing clear, my dogs are not neglected! Neither are any of our reptiles.The bigger female is going on 10 years old, she did not have puppies. I can't believe on the comments that's we have been getting. We are not bad people. We feed our animals first before we feed our self. Like my fiance said everyone has an opinion and we can't change that. So for all those people who think we should have gotten written up and everything. All I have to say is, okay you win. All we wanted was to be like all of you. We love all of our reptiles just as much as the next person. We have been trying to make a name for our self in the reptile world. Even though we didn't like the people at misfit pets, we stayed away. Didn't confront them didn't try to cause any trouble. And for them to say I lied about the origin of the rescue or surrender is falls. The Savannah that we traded was never posted as a rescue or surrender. Although another animal on that same posting was. But anyways you guys get what you want. You never see us again. Good Luck to all of you.

it only takes a few minutes for the heat in a car to reach deadly temps.
there is NO EXCUSE for leaving any animal in a car for any amount of time EVER!!!
You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
 
It's shameful how you're trying to justify this. You don't deserve to have a goldfish, let alone a dog, if you think this was okay!!

Here's a pic of the car (unfortunately, from the front, so no plate), and some newer info that's come up: apparently they sometimes introduce themselves as "John and Jennifer", so there's some shadiness there, too.
