Have to agree with you there, we do a lot of rescue and have a semi reformed bait dog, Jake, pit/lab. What those folks did to him should have made them the subject of some experiments. I've rehabbed several dogs throughout my life, and I promise you I have at least average intelligence. I fret and research my T's just as much as any other pet I've had. If by chance I get tagged, I'd only tell you guys, and honestly figure it was my own fault for making a noob mistake. If it makes you feel any better at all, I managed pet stores for many years. Full line reptiles salt fish etc. So while I may be a new T owner I am somewhat familiar with them (^.~ shhhh tho,....I don't have much respect for the petshops either....I can usually move them safely tho and am NOT pro handling.)
