[QUOTE="timc, post: 84834, member: 4054"] Honestly, the problem is that as long as people will spend money on spiders that they don't know where they came from you're always going to have people taking them from their natural habitats. i think it's the buyer's responsibility to ask about the animal they are about to buy, but then again there's about 200,000,000 morons in America who don't really care where the spider may have come from. It's the same with puppy mills; you have real animal lovers who try to put a stop to the horrible conditions those dogs come from, and then you have a majority of people that can't be bothered to look at where the animals come from and blindly open their wallets to fund animal cruelty. It's all about the money. If people will spend on animals that come from terrible conditions or from their natural habitats the problems will perpetuate themselves forever. [/QUOTE]
