Amphibious once again is absolutely right in his remarks and Rob's passion is always unquestioned.
however, i do want to point out that a general assumption that 95% of
lfs does not take care of their livestock properly puts the 5% that do in a precarious position. i believe that the best source of livestock is still from your
lfs. you just have to be educated in selecting the store that you wish to deal with. statements that imply that 95% of
lfs just feed enough to keep specimens alive is misleading. are we to assume that online retailers are more moral? i believe that 95% of online retailers might be guilty of the same crimes. should not the correct statement be that 95% of RETAILERS? not just
lfs?
