Agree 100%. I’m thinking there are interrogators on this case skilled at bringing that out in people if at all possible.

The Maserati, the two homes (one in DC), art fraud, real estate scam, stealing a mil from his father… it’s sounding more and more like a couple trying to live beyond their means. So very sad for the little boys.

I dont wanna judge too harshly without seeing the place for myself, but they have countless reviews that go into detail about less than ideal living conditions for the animals; moldy water or none at all, inadequate shade for animals in summer, tiny enclosures etc… just bc theyre a rescue doesn’t make em great if they aren’t providing proper care 😅

Reply to comment by madtho in MA Connector Care vs Vermont by madtho

Depends what you mean by "civilized." that's the part of eastern Vermont I'm least familiar with, but I do know they don't have an especially large hospital. Also gonna throw it out there and say if it's like most of Vermont, many of the providers are not accepting new patients. Brattleboro is close to Mass at least, you have Western Mass as a backup

Reply to I'm a native to Massachusetts and I love the state, but I really wish many of my fellow Massholes stop degrading people from certain states we may not like. by BoringAccountName78

I’ve lived in Mass my whole life, outside of a couple year stint in Louisiana, and I can tell you with absolute 100% certainty 2 things:

  1. This state is a shithole and I hate it. I also love it and am glad I live here.

  2. Fuck Connecticut and their dumbass drivers!

Having worked for them in the past, I have my own mixed feelings about the organization. The owner says almost all the animals are rescues. I can personally attest that this is at least partially true, having witnessed us adopt exotic pets from people who cannot take care of them anymore. A lot of the animals are in spaces smaller than I feel comfortable with, but this gets back to the question of rescues. The place operates on slim margins, with money getting reinvested into new enclosures. A lot of the long term staff there ends up being people close to the owner, but the shorter term staff are typically fierce animal lovers working there as a way station. The place is not AZA-accredited and it’s unclear even to the staff how the place should be perceived.

Reply to comment by Twombls in Worcester Walmart violated MA law after homeless camp clearing by HRJafael

Tenessee is ahead of the curve, the first state to make camping on local public land a felony, in addition to state land.

Being homeless is de-facto illegal in Tennessee at this point. Expect other states & cities to follow suit.

>The felony charge is punishable by up to six years in prison and the loss of voting rights.

Anyone want to make any bets on how many years Sam Bankman-Fried will end up doing? Zero is an allowable guess.

They do, quite often actually. It’s a great way to educate the public about animals- particularly those who wouldn’t otherwise go to a zoo. When I worked in a preschool we had a reptile keeper come in and do a show for the kids, it really helped dissuade them from being scared of snakes and tarantulas for no reason. At GCC they had Animal Adventures visit a few years ago. They have a mobile zoo program as well
