I believe that they really do care about tarantulas and other inverts. I am not excusing them, well maybe a little, but I think that some get frustrated at what seems to be an ever present and increasing problem with people buying animals on the spur of the moment. I don't mean to agitate anyone, well maybe a little, but caring for a T is not something you should learn  spur of the moment. Same with beta fish or goldfish. You can learn some things as you go, but the basics need to be in place before getting it home.To be honest, I cringe when I see a thread topic with the something like " I know nothing about taratulas, but just got one, please help." And I am thinking that is what prompts the heated response from some on Arachoboards. I worry that we are becoming more of a disposable society. Disposable underwear I can understand ( still a burden on the environment) but not animals.</blockquote>
