    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....

Skeptical about PETA’s findings at Reptiles by Mack? Have a look at this additional video. The general public’s short attention span requires us to keep videos short, but for you all who know reptiles, here are additional scenes from RBM’s facilities. Please also know that between our observers’ periods of employment, we wrote directly to Mr. Mack with a list of our concerns, but our second observer saw that animals continued to suffer at the company.

Thank you,
Colin Henstock, PETA
 
Colin,

I'm about 8 minutes into the video about to step out for lunch, but wanted to ask. What is your ultimate desired goal, hoped for outcome by sharing the videos of RBM? - thanks
 
So Colin... you were on this thread when I posted my question. No response?

Without a response, it would be like me posting a PETA video and then bailing. From the linked video:

PETA Spokesperson, "a huge amount of our budget goes to the heart and soul of our work which are our undercover investigations". The video says the PETA budget was 36 million in 2013. So, how much are PETA members paid to become "observers" and go dig up things in their undercover investigations? What happens if they don't find anything during their "observing", how much do they make then?

The video talks about PETA in VA. How many animals did PETA euthanize in VA in 2013? What percentage is that of the animals they took in?

I'm not RBM or PETA supporter, I'm just a neutral anti-BS supporter. If you are going to drop videos here about others, it is only fair to have the favor returned so we have a "fair and balanced" perspective.

Not neutral? Does it kind of feel like a one sided hidden camera video?

So you replied, however, no answer still to the question above? To what end are you creating/making/posting/distributing videos of RBM? What are you trying to accomplish?

Damn, hurts when the euthanasia shot's coming from the other end, doesn't it? :thumbsup:

If you're involved with PETA, then I take everything you say, type and vocalize as I would if I had a ton of sand put into my bowl of soup; with total disgust. (Though I might give the dirt in my soup a higher accreditation... :) )

PETA has proven themselves to be liars, cheats and manipulators, and nothing you or anyone else says will sway my opinion. The fact that a PETA rep is posting here and then proceeds to tell people to look at another useless video montage of theirs still doesn't matter to me. Because this is all I get from your organization... :deadhorse

:iagree: Kind of feels like they can dish it, but not take it. :laugh:

To stir the pot would be my guess. Just wonder if he knows he walked into the lions den on this end. lol
 
I feel the same about Peta, nothing ethical about euthanizing almost 84% of the animals surrendered to them. Seems to be worse than RBM when crunching the number.
 
Colin, you also have a lot of gall coming to a website of reptile breeders when this is listed right at the bottom of the page you have linked in your post.

A video can be edited. Animals can be planted, employees can be led into giving answers that suit your agenda. Heck, your planted "employee" could've staged the whole thing. PETA is not a valid source of information. I will wait to see what the court decides before I believe anything you say.

If you posted this for the benefit of people who "posed questions about PETA's investigation", then why didn't you post this where those questions were asked? Why create a new thread?

LUCKY FOR YOU! There ARE still people here that have questions! Just not any that your video can answer...and I find PETA's goals to be the antithesis of my own beliefs.....js.

Dear fellow reptile lovers and breeders,

We thank you for your support and wanted to remind you of our open door policy.

"We have an open door policy for all of our wholesale customers and various other industry professionals where they may arrive for a full tour during business hours, unannounced. Many of our wholesale customers perform announced and unannounced inspections of our facility several times a year. We have nothing to hide and always receive outstanding feedback from those who see how we really take care of our animals and the standards that we maintain."

Sincerely,

Reptiles by Mack
 
I just would like to say I deeply regret posting the original video a while back here on fauna. All that it did was ad attention. I was just so blown away at the moment. Since then I have educated myself a bit on PETA. I've never seen an animal organization so against animals before. There lies, cover ups, deception and spins are just disgusting.
I've been thinking about this since I initially posted and like I said I deeply regret doing it.
I would think only devil worshipers would support an organization such as PETA.
Atleast these few threads are here on fauna to open up people's eyes. That would be the one thing good that has come out of this situation.
 
Peta

Lets start off by saying that members of Peta and other animal rights groups have been investigated and arrested for ARSON . ATTEMPTED MURDER , breaking and entering , destruction of property And various other criminal activity .

That being said they euthanized 84 % of the rescued animals , and turned loose ranch mink that succumbed to STARVATION , PREDATION , KILLED BY CARS , HYPOTHERMIA AND DISEASE to mention a few . I believe it was almost 90 % of the mink let go died by these causes the very day they were let FREE .

These people hold no creditability with me whatsoever , they are liars and lawbreakers who should be in prison , YOU THINK THEY HOLD ANIMAL WELFARE NEAR AND DEAR , YOU BETTER THINK AGAIN .
