Message: <blockquote data-quote="HungryGhost" data-source="post: 39558" data-attributes="member: 2661">I think letting the general public handle your T is a bad idea for many reasons. Some that come to mind:- the T could bite leading to injury or death if it is suddenly dropped/thrown.- the T could be "fumbled" for lack of a better word, same result as above.- the handler could have any number of things on their hands that could harm the T, such as topical tick treatment from petting their cat or dog.Handling your own T's is risky enough, but letting others handle them is looking for trouble.</blockquote>
