    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....

This one sounds like it came from a bad TV seriies

Actually it's a badly written e-book LOL.

The story of Boitatá Operation and "Princess Diamond" - The One Million Dollar Snake [Kindle Edition]

Kindle Price: $9.99

Publication Date: October 11, 2013
By telling the story of the investigation backstage that led up to Boitatá Operation, this book presents the author’s personal opinion about the captivity of wild animals, formed in one decade work as environmental analyst of IBAMA. After lots of operations in many Brazilian states, most of them fighting against the illegal captivity and the wildlife trafficking, the top of this process is the Boitatá Operation, of which he was one of the mainly creators.
The information presented here has as main objective to bring up the subject and promote an urgent and needed critical and debate, grounded not only in personal experience but also in scientific data, about how our society has romantic and mistakenly seen the captivity of wild animals, as well as minimized the catastrophic consequences of this habit. It’s hoped that the debate promotes the necessary changes in habit and values of ethical cultures, aiming merely at the preservation of Brazilian biodiversity and, consequently, the maintenance of environmental quality for present and future generations, as it clearly established, almost as a utopian, in the Article 225 of the Constitution of the Federative Republic of Brazil.
And let’s hope the Boitatá doesn’t reach us, because we are all victims and all guilty.
