Soo much bad press in the Fox news broadcast.
Sad that they were kept in such bad condition but how that reporter was relaying it made it sound like the animals would kill anyone stepping within 10 feet of the building.

Why is it we never get to see any Live Video of the such Horrible conditions?
I have a feeling that PETA orchestrated this raid also with the false sexual assault charge

What's worse is when he tells the reporter to be careful (she's standing a freaking 40+ feet away so even if an alligator got loose she would be in no kind of danger at all!) then she goes on to say that the police are armed with shotguns to protect themselves from the dangerous animals.
That entire report just pisses me off.
Heck I'm almost willing to bet money that anyone of us from this board could go into that building and cuddle half the reptiles.

The senselessness of this literally brings me to tears. If the government wants to regulate something, why not regulate the press? Sure, it's against the constitution and all that, but so is half the other stuff they want to do. I'm planning to start school in the fall on my way to being a herpetologist, and reading these makes me wonder if there could ever be a future in it if the government gets it's way. It's sad and outrageous.

Don't let it discourage you from becoming what you want to be.

It's very discouraging... Not just this, but the whole thing. Thinking about going to school for 8 years and possibly not being able to do what I want to do... it just seems like it all could be for nothing in the end, if things keep on this track. I'm still going to do it though. Someone has to be able to make people see that these animals aren't what they think they are. The more of us that are out there with knowledge and credentials, the less people will be able to ignore us or dismiss us as freaks.

That second video was a lot better reporting, I liked the end segment where they clarified that the animals weren't dangerous or aggressive.
