War
So to make things even worse. Ray threatens me and my family with some Physical WAR. Yep, I swear it to be true the words stated WAR.This is what its come down to. Threatening my 3,4,10 year old kids. War is War especially when you say I know where you live and what not and that Im gonna make up reports to HRS just to piss you off and try to get your kids taken away from you. This guy is sooo mad at me when he got my money and I have nothing. I see the torres name all over this web site with horrible feedback and I have to figure somehow they are all connected so what do I have to think that these guys all crazy people with some kind of vengance issue. Thats not a blanket statement or a stereo type. They may be all unrelated to each other and maybe some are great guys, but some of this kind of fills in the puzzle.
Im not complaining or asking for help. Trust me I have all my eggs in a basket and Im not 2 slices short of a birthday cake
Its just ignorance. All the guy had to do was make good on what he said. Be a man of his word. Isnt that what a good breeder needs to be? To stand by their policy?
He might as well just said on his policy:
1.You buy anything from us and it dies or its not the right sex
2.Dont expect good advice because if it back fires we will blame you not us.
3.Dont listen to the millions of threads all over fauna and the members remarks. Its all lies.
4.Just because alot of people that have no connection to each other wrote about our poor buisness practices it dont mean anything.
5.Dont ask us where our buisness physical address is because we dont have one. We keep all our reptiles in a P.O. Box. Its Extra Large.
Funny thing or food for thought.....
Its trust. Why would anyone want to do buisness with someone that lives and does buisness in a P.O Box and is scared of the world knowing where their buisness is run from. Its supposed to be public knowledge, but there is no record of a buisness under that name, no physical address, cell phones linked to counties that are 50+ miles away with no address information physically just P.O. Box....
I did do buisness with him before I learned of Fauna...but no one said that who recommended me to Ray was very bright...
I figured: Local guy, better to do buisness with.
Like other people have stated on here there is supposed to be buisness related public record of a physical address. What if you wanna see where your snakes come from? How they are kept? You dont wanna buy from someone that keeps them in a paper bag right? Or, in a shed in the back yard with no A/C in 100 degree weather? I dont know anything about how they are kept at Barc. So Im not implying anything about his housing of animals. Im just makeing some remarks to the fact of disclosing personal info on buisness related information.
For example: My Rat Breeder, I have to see what im feeding my snakes so I go to his house to see where they are housed and what conditions they are kept under.Why would I wanna loose a 300+ dollar snake over a 85 cent rat pinkie? If I buy from rodent pro or mice direct I know what Im getting Frozen stuff from a large facility. Not someones house that I have no idea what experiments they are performing before I get them.
So the county we live in is very strict on buisness permits, taxes ect. This guy needs to chill a bit. Also, does fed ex or the buisness that holds the p.o box know that he ships live animals? These mom and pop shippers dont usually like it when they find out that in the back room there is a live emerald tree boa thats pretty upset....
This guy acts like I am the ONLY one that has a issue with him. Well, I dont think I am unless all the other threads are figmentations of my imagination.
I even sent him the links to the threads from me and others on here so he could stand up for himself and explain his side, but as soon as his address apeared...boom here he was. I gave him every opertunity to make good, and if he would have made good then I would have been happy and would have been happy to say he was a man of his word. Your word is your bond. Its all you have. Good guys can go bad but people can change from bad back to good. It takes time but it can be done.
Well, Im done. Im worn out. I have to tend to this local WAR
So Im out of here or at least this thread. Thanks for everything. I know its only going to get worse not better but it all maybe worth it.
Thankyou all for everything. You people are the best. So make me laugh at times about this and push me in the right direction. Thankyou so much.
Hopefully I will meet some great breeders out there. Lord knows Im not finished shopping. I have to make up for what I lost somehow.
