Just caught the end of the story on the news, bloody unbeliveable!!!!!!!!

Its going to get worse. They are invading houses and holding people at gunpoint for a few puppies worth 1000 each.
Considering reptiles don't bark, whimper, need constant attention, take up space .............

They sound stolen to order - how many people must have been getting these animals to steal? There's some logisitcs going on there!

What sort of security did the wildlife park have? I would have thought with $30000 worth of reptiles you'd have some security.

Anyhow, it sux, and sux big time. I really don't like theives at all. I hope the police find and return all the animals as soon as possible.

i hate reading these sort of threads,it makes me feel sick.

 

[cobb]

people like that deserve to be shot...i hope they picked up a venomous snake thinking it was a python and they got bitten and they thought nothing of it. and then died.

 

[MrBredli]

There must have been a few albinos amongst those bluey... $20000-30000 worth??! :?

 

[Paliadon]

I hope that the herps are all ok. More than likely on there way overseas. Bluddy smugglers!

 

[DragonKeeper]

W@nkas! They will probably end up dying because those a$$holes cannot care for them! and if it was for money why not get exotics or something not bluetongues worth $70 each?

 

[boydii]
