Does it change anybody's perspective that it was his pet? To me it's not the fact that is was a chameleon but that it was his pet and he chooses to dispose of it. I think we have a responsibility to take care of our pets and if we do not want them anymore than find them good homes. Why can't any of you guys on the other side answer the question about, what if it was his dog? Would that be okay? and from your logic it shouldnt matter. An animal is an animal. A cricket, a worm, a mouse, a chameleon, or the family dog...there shouldn't be a difference right? If you truly hold true to your argument. Someone dinged me on my "reputation" because they thought my arugment here was "somewhat irrational". It is simply my opinion that people should not feed their pets to their other pets when they become bored with them. I did not ding anybody here for arguing the oposite of this point even though I may find that point of view cold and heartless. Everyone has a right to their opinion. Imagine what this forum would be like it we all agreed all the time.
