Some PETA nuts a couple years back “raided” a reptile shop south of me.
They then dumped the “liberated” reptiles off in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation area.
So for awhile you stood a good chance of finding an iguana, a swift, or a python lazing it out on various vegetation.
Until the first real freeze.
What hits the news isntead?
PETA nuts disrobing for their propaganda.
*sheesh*
Do you recall their “liberation” of a mink farm?
The “lucky” mink were immediately smashed by cars on the nearby highway.
The others staggered off injured to die slowly and those that missed being hit, starved to death, not ever having learned how to feed themselves.
pETA is the most merciless thing on earth.
Because they’re ectotherms, non-hibernating snakes [such as our native colubrids] die horrible, slow, agonizing deaths from hypothermia.
I loathe pETA.
