In response to the breeder sites that were posted and at the risk of sounding radical- do you all support the industry of selling and importing wild chameleons?
I guess I am naive in a lot of ways. Herbie was give to me by a friend who bought him from a pet store. Which is bad enough, that we as human beings would mass breed an animal for our own pleasures.
I never gave one thought to the idea that people who had such an "interest" and "respect" for this great and mystical creature could possibly support an industry so destructive and cruel.
The last thing I would want in my life is an animal sitting in a 3x2 cage in my house, that was stollen from it's home, shipped in crate, and sold for 500 bucks.
I may have just gotten myself 86ed from this forum but I plan to do anything possible to change these events, to insure the safety and preservation of our chameleons. Any support, information, or comments are welcome.
Sincerely,
Veronica Langley
