Dear Julie. The GGA forum is one of my favourite forums and I didn't want to spam it with updates on my case and to annoy people with my long posts.
Here's a link to my latest update. I forum I most frequently update is the Scandinavian www.repti.net forum but updates there are in Norwegian... http://www.repti.net/repti2/index.php?MODULE=Forum&PAGE=3&ID=9763 I update the "general gecko chat" www.geckoworld.com forum and the "herp law/CITES forum" at www.kingsnake.com but these are only small updates as I can't formulate myself well in English and it takes me too long to translate my thoughts.. I don't dare updating too many forums because the first day when I was caught I spammed many of the kingsnake forums with the same post. Many of these were deleted the next day. I guess moderators didn't like that so I try to take notice and not update my case in too many places.. Other than this I have a friend who is updating the German DGHT forum and I think people are forwarding my updates to Canada and Australia. Here's a link to my latest update: http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=433836,446435 Here's a link to the whole thread at kingsnake: http://forums.kingsnake.com/view.php?id=433836,433836&show_threads=2 Other than the updates above I got a letter from the police today. A Formal letter about confiscation of my animals. If I sign this letter I agree that my animals can be confiscated. And I will be charged without going to the court. This normally gives a milder punishment.. If I don't sign, I have to give a good reason for not signing, or else they'll come to my house in 5 days to confiscate the remaining 5 leachies I have at home. In this case I will have to go to court. Problem is.. If I have to go to court it will be too expensive and I won't be able to pay my lawyers fees.. :o( I'm not sure what to do. I'll talk about it with my lawyer on Monday. Maybe I can go to court without a lawyer? I don't know yet.. If I go to court maybe I risk being made an example of.. up to 12 months in jail and up to 7100 USD in fines, depending on the jury's verdict. I guess it won't be that much since I don't have any CITES index 1 animals nor poisonous snakes, I only kept geckoes and 2 species of dendrobates. We'll have to see..
