Euthanasia of unsold stock?

[patrickfraser]

Is is just me, or does anyone else find it counterproductive to the hobby to euthanize unsold mantids?

If you truly respect the hobby and are really "leaving the hobby forever", offer them to people for shipping costs.

Threats of euthanasia is not a way to drive sales.

Agreed! Take them to a pet store. I bet they could find them homes.

i am very upset to read this as well

i would gladly take a few things but i dont have that kind of money

who pays $25 for a creobroter? i have maybe $20 to spend on stuff and i still am not done shopping for my mother's birthday (which is the 19th)

Forgot to rate my recent transaction.

everything went great! Packed well and all accounted for including extras. Free ooth too.

Thanks Yen

Sad to see that newly purchased mantids from Yen Saw will possibly be destroyed.

Ralphy before you destroy any mantids i live 2 towns away you wont even have to ship them. Ill pick them up before you kill them

 

[mantiseater]

I have messaged you patrick

I heard that he was trying to save up for some reptiles. (Switching from mantises to reptiles)

Regardless that's still bogus... A bogus death to those mantids.

If he was that concerned with the hobby and those involved he would "offer them for the shipping price..." Rather than making a thread posting a deaththreath to mantids not purchased.

heck, I'd consider buying something just to help him out even despite the altercation Ralphy and myself have had. But this really ticks me off...

 

[PrayingMantisPets]

ohh i just saw the bottom of his post. I think that is very wrong!!!
