I guess because arse just sounds funny to me and slightly less offensive to the more sensitive and up-tight folks.And a question for you. Why do you write "arse" with the English spelling?

the link isn't workingThis article says you do not need one for mantids: <a href="http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/pubs/fsheet_faq_notice/fs_phclassroom.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.aphis.usda.gov/lpa/pubs/fsheet_...phclassroom.pdf</a>
I also don't see that form listed. And even if its available does that authorize one to keep mantids or just import them?
That is because the thread is over two years old. Please introduce yourself in the introductions forum. Thanks.the link isn't working
Because mantids are a gray area as has been discussed.Are idolomantises endangered?
how the heck do people sell them online in an open webpage to people across the us?, how do you do that???
So my friend has been talking back and fourth to the broker at the airport. The broker is the man who has the box under his supervision as far as my friend knows.Because mantids are a gray area as has been discussed.
I don't have any mantids any longer, as soon as I found out they are illegal I told my parents and they FORCED me to destroy them... I literally cried, takes a lot for me to cry...not a very good idea to even mentioning about this to those kind of agencies as they may add 2 and 2 together and figure if you have the illegal species and demand where you obtained them or fine you outright and what not!
Paul, my friend mentioned them because he wants to know how he could go about doing this the LEGAL WAY, so no person can fine him nor take them away since he would have a permit...not a very good idea to even mentioning about this to those kind of agencies as they may add 2 and 2 together and figure if you have the illegal species and demand where you obtained them or fine you outright and what not!
We've been through this a few times. Everybody thinks they're going to get new information by making some calls but it isn't going to happen.Paul, my friend mentioned them because he wants to know how he could go about doing this the LEGAL WAY, so no person can fine him nor take them away since he would have a permit...
But apparently it isn't possible unless you are one of those three special things... Zoo guy, science museum etc. buildings or a Professor working at a University doing studies.
No way! :blink: Please tell me you are joking?I don't have any mantids any longer, as soon as I found out they are illegal I told my parents and they FORCED me to destroy them... I literally cried, takes a lot for me to cry...
Well, I guess that you're a sadder but a wiser man!I just cannot stand how they would allow people to import big spiders. I love tarantulas don't get me wrong, but ###### would be better at surviving? A spider or mantis if it escaped?
All mantid species are a billion times slower than most spiders.
All I can do is laugh and say wow... F'ing morons. Mantids are so cool and they have no idea how easy they are to keep in a cage!
Come on people! Ever hear of a "greaced palm?"If you are not a Zoo, Museum, Professor/University, or Scientist. Your chances of getting a permit are slim at best.
