If you have no intention of doing anything you forfeit the right to complain.

The way I see it its only fair, you want someone else to invest the money in a species you want to see, they spend the time and resources raising it and breeding it, then buy a table at a show spending more time and more money just so you can walk by a table and say "oh cool a frog"

Yeah thats pretty much it. May talk to the vendor about it and take some pics as well.

Thats what I would like to see.

SO what you're saying is you expect someone else to do it. It hasn't happened yet and you think someone is just going to go and do it all for you. The sadder part is you won't even support that person. You said you'd take a pic (because you're cheap) and not support what YOU YOURSELF wanted to see changed! So what kind of encouragement is it to that person to continue that? Absolutely none.

Most likely it isn't going to happen if it hasn't already. It isn't like frogs are something brand new...

My expectation (and I guess that's where I was wrong in actually having any) is that this thread wouldn't just be complaints. It would spark discussion on what someone can do and was going to go do.

Instead we got people (and I use that term lightly) complaining about this and that (mostly common morph animals as per the usual) and expecting someone else to fix things because this that or the other thing.

This is why we have the government making and passing laws. The mindset is always "someone else will do it for me".

The truth is no one else is. Yes there are groups out there but they need actually support. Not some random petition (they don't work) with random names from places that are a 1000 miles away (politicians seriously don't care about those people).
The sadder truth is when I went to those meetings there were very few people in attendance for any support. It's sad that the giant keepers never showed up either.

I agree with Lori. If you aren't willling to do anything about it then you forfeit the right to complain.

Just like those people who don't vote but complain about the elected official.

Not expecting anything but I would like it if this happened.

Don't know why words are being put in my mouth now. I don't think anybody is going to do it for me. I said no such thing. All I said was "I would like to see". If someone did what I liked then I would support them by saying "good job" or a pat on the back if thats what you would like? May purchase the animal depending on what we're talking about.

Huh? How about that? I put words into mouths.

There's your quote saying you will "let" someone else do it because it's easier for you.

Fairly certain that means you think someone else will.

Another point I was trying to make earlier is exactly what you said about supporting someone. You will say "good job" like a lot of other people who wish to see something "different" at a show.
You all literally mean "see" something. You're using someone else's time, money and effort for you to have a cheap zoo experience. Quit complaining about it unless you plan to do something about it.

Haha. Aaron, ever feel like you take peoples post on the internet to seriously?

Again I did not say I think someone else will. I'm more so hoping they will. Even if I do think someone else will I still don't see a problem with waiting for someone else to spend the money. Seems like a smart way to go in my eyes .

Again I was not complaining about a single thing.

Not how the world works.

I don't plan on doing a single thing about it but I wont stop stating what I would like to see. And that is more unusual animals and less boring ball pythons.

Never complained about something someone said or did? Never complained about a rough day of work? Never complained when something didn't go as planned? Okay

Exactly. No one is saying they're upset about the ball pythons. It's just something they would think would be cool if it was different. Nothing to get worked up about. This is a DISCUSSION board after all.
