That's a shame.

But, you know what, I've had life backfire really badly on me before. I'm lucky in that I'm pretty good at problem-solving. Some people really aren't. I realized I was in serious trouble when I still had enough gas money to get me and my pets to a better place. Some people don't realize they are in that level of trouble in time.

You know, you lose a job, have an interview, think you're getting a job, think your landlord will cut you a break for a couple weeks until you get paid at the new job then it turns out you don't get the job and your landlord doesn't have any qualms with sending you packing.

I imagine them being illegal was what kept them from reaching out for help.

I'm moving out of Florida because of tarantula keeping being a bit illegal. It's weird and not enforced, but, you have to apply for a permit which is rarely granted. You would never know that you can't keep them without a permit because pet stores all have them for sale. I acquired a bunch locally, no idea that you had to request a permit and that the permit just isn't approved.

It's one of those things where they aren't generally enforcing it even at major chain pet stores, BUT, they can whenever they want. I don't really want to be at the mercy of their whims.. lol
