Sick Whites Tree Frogs

[Bruce]

As I was pondering, something came to mind....

I did also want to mention that we should be cautious in using the Frog Forum name when speaking of specific stores. To mention particular incidences is fine. When calling or talking to representatives of say, Petco, or other stores with complaints, it should be noted that the complaints are coming from each of you as individuals. It would be best if only moderators or John speak for the forum.

Why? Because the stores can actually use that information against us here. All members here work so hard to keep our wonderful forum running. All acts of harm to amphibians are without a doubt wrong, and we strive to prevent and correct them. Let us as the workers of the forum do the part of protecting the forum, while you guys enjoy the forum. You can say that you've noticed that many of our members here are having the same problems. I'm referring to complaints to them by 'the forum'.

Remember, as much as we all love our frogs, we are a forum - a social network here to share the enjoyment of frogs and toads, experiences, tips, photos, stories, the good and the bad. We are not a protective agency or act, though we will strive to do so outside of the forum.

We want you to tell us, so we can help, and we will. We will do so on a professional level in a proactive manner , with a bit of zest behind us .

She couldn't be more right about this. The LAST thing the forum needs is to look down the barrel of a corporate lawsuit or something crazy... Cause that would be our luck! (Well, my luck anyway!)
Keep the complaints on a personal level. Sheer volume of personal complaints will perk their ears up enough to maybe look into exactly who their vendor are and what exactly they are doing. Because even if it's just a vendor breaking laws/codes, the main company takes a good bit of heat from hiring them and failing at audits and other quality regulation procedures. Not to mention continuing to employ the vendor afterwards.

Not to be redundant; but ......I did mention it is not appropriate to bash publicly.

I, personally, will not take the liberty to 'bash' this place publicly , here on Frog Forum for obvious reasons.
