[QUOTE="BossRoss, post: 140983, member: 2395"] With your logic in mind; according to the opinions of friends and family who are neurologists and physiologist you are incompetent and have no idea what you are talking about and are spewing absolute ignorance, please seek help. People like you will make idiots handle a Tarantula, get bitten by said Tarantula, cause a huge scene and will tarnish a hobby that is already in the balance of being banned and is highly controlled in some countries. Any one of the fake news outlets would love to sensationalize a spider bite story to get views on their web page, which leads to revenue. So according to you we should just let a small child play with an adult lion so that the child can figure out the lion? Because of people like you many of the long-time keepers have left the forums. As humans, and especially as children we learn things from other humans. Whether by observation or be teachings. If a spider is so simple, why have scientist and biologist not figured out a way to reproduce silk/webbing like spiders do? You have, evidently, never seen an animal that has been abused. I’ve seen Asian and African Elephants cower from a human, a fraction of the Elephant’s size, with a stick. Cite your sources.... Where is all this research people have been doing for years?????? Spiders and especially Tarantulas have little to no medical significance and therefor are not studied nearly as much as they should be. One of the individuals who has done the most research on Ts used to be on these forms, until he got tired of newbies he thought they knew best(amongst other things) I know you're a little young but pet business make money by pushing stock. The more stock pushed the more money. They'll say anything to get you to buy a Tarantula and a whole bunch of unnecessary extras. Also there are little to no laws governing how a T should be kept and sold. A pet shop could say/do just about anything with regards to Ts and you have no legal recourse. You are also, probably, one of those people who believes everything their car mechanic says... Speaking of; have you replaced your muffler bearing lately?! I’d also recommend upgrading to the new short throw dipsticks… I assume that's why everything has warning labels now days?! Please cite the law that makes this illegal? Does this "law" apply to every country all around the world? Strange sentence to put on a forum. But you do realize some people here have been keeping T's longer than you have been alive?? Why not just take their advice with a pinch of salt and move on your life. Use what you want, ignore what you don't want. Sorry I forgot, you're the new generation Z... Where you are right even when you are wrong... and when you don't get your way you throw a tantrum and walk away. Luckily the internet is forever, I hope you read this thread in a few years and shudder at what you wrote. Still not sure if I should laugh at the troll or cry from the ignorance. To anyone who has made it this far in this klusterphuck of a thread, please, please do as much research as you can about any animal you intend to own or come in contact with. Use all your learnings, with common logic and all your senses in every single situation. Don’t be a hero and think you know best from the get go. [/QUOTE]
