    Aww come on now. New Tarantula store.

    Kind of weird that Tarantula Outlet has been down for the past two days. Maybe Hey Josh - care to comment on why your staff members are threatening posters on behalf of anonymous “trusted member of this forum” with bogus legal action? No responses from your staff, no responses fro Casey...

    …the section my warning was deleted from, you mean?

    Aww come on now. New Tarantula store.

    They are absolutely protecting them. They DM’d me parroting legal threats Tarantula Outlet made have deleted several posts warning people about them. A “we’l respected member” of this forum who can’t be named is apparently more reliable than the mountain of evidence against “Mike”.

    Aww come on now. New Tarantula store.

    For whatever reason Tarantula Forum deleted my post. That’s a shame.

    Aww come on now. New Tarantula store.

    Hey all - I posted the original warning on FB and have now posted here. The person calling themselves Mike is in fact Tomas(z) Lelewski, the scammer behind Eresus.

    Ban of exotic pets?

    There are republicans who will vote for this too. I think the worst thing we can do is turn this into a red v blue debate. We should all be united around this common interest.

    Ban of exotic pets?

    Also, thank you for spreading the word. Please don’t forget to look up your US senators and representative and voice your concerns. There’s a great email template on USARKs page that makes it super easy and quick.

    Ban of exotic pets?

    The Lacey Act has been in force since 1900 and has been amended several times. It’s probably the most commonly prosecuted wildlife law as it’s effectively a catch all. In 2018 USFWS began interpreting and enforcing it in a new way, which lead to them effectively banning the import of all...

    Ban of exotic pets?

    Here is the actual text of the Lacey amendment in this bill. It makes massive changes to an already overbroad and bad law that’s enforced arbitrarily and capriciously already. Takeaways are that USFWS could bad an interstate transport of any non-native species it sees fit overnight. There...

    No idea why you think this is “fear mongering” but if you’re intent on ignoring reality, have at it. Well done capping it with “I’m not saying this is good or bad legislation” as if you aren’t simply taking a contrarian view of anything critical of it. The SoI determines what “minimal...

    Here is the actual text if anyone is interested in reading it, by the way.

    Please act now to save the hobby!

    Just to be clear, this is federal legislation to amend the Lacey Act. It would effect every state. It would mean if your spider is placed on the injurious species list, you cannot bring it across any state border for any reason. It’s not limited to commerce. Bringing a pet to the vet or donating...
