    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    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....

PETA Suing Zoo Med

I think that PETA is going to have a very tough time proving their case. This is really nothing more than a nuisance lawsuit, IMHO.

Nuisance lawsuit are the bread and butter of most animal rights groups.

The goal isn't to win, it's to drive up Zoo Med's legal costs and force them into bankruptcy, or at least increase their insurance premiums/cost of doing business. It's no different than the lawsuits against gun manufacturers for criminal misuse of their products.
 
Presumably another goal is to increase PETA's own cred with their financial backers -- 'Look! We are taking down the bad guys! Help us continue this by entering your credit card info below!'

The fact that a news outlet would publish the story without seeking and including a statement from the defendant suggests that the free advertising for PETA's ignorance campaign was an expected bonus.
 
I think it has been well established that the mainstream media is not our friend.
 
I have to agree with PETA on this one.. I love Zoomed and think they're one of the best, but they do recommend enclosures that are WAY TOO SMALL..

REALLY????????

Why would anyone depend on, or follow the recommendation of a manufacturer on what size enclosure is needed for a certain critter/reptile?????

Common sense has always been key at my facility, and has been or over 50 years, and the offspring we produce year after year is proof, and have NEVER, or ever would follow any recommendation of any manufacturer of enclosures.


PETA can take a flying leap........

IMO, & Just my 2 cents.......

And if a company gives out obviously conservative information, they should be sued, huh? Clothing sizing, servings per box of cereal, MPG on cars, etc, etc, etc. Should we sue them all?

Should AZA-class enclosures be legally mandated for all captive animals? Because "agree(ing) with PETA" entails that, since that will be a stop on the train that leads to prohibition of all animal ownership.

Any box of food that says it contains more than one serving is suspect to me.
