This is sick. It's beyond me how these people can justify their actions in killing innocent defenseless animals. I wish BIRP a strong recovery from this tragedy, and maybe this will raise better awareness about animal cruelty issues in general.

Hi Desiree,

Like you I am completely devastated by the news. I am posting on Australian Reptile Forums to bring attention to BIRP and IRCF encouraging donations. It's a sad fact but I hope funding pours in to allow for necessary security to be put in place.

I had a special place in my heart for Pedro and learning his body still has not been found is heart-breaking. I wanted to post some photos in his memory that I took while there last October.

I hope the perpetrators are found swiftly and dealt with harshly.

R.I.P.

Welcome to HCN, Shannon. Even if it is under such circumstances, we're glad you're here.

Thanks Steph,

I appreciate the kind welcome.

This is absolutely sickening. I don't even know what else to say. So sad, what a waste....

This is so sad. The cruelty of some never ceases to shock me.

This is disgusting I cant believe how anyone in their right mind could do such a barbaric slaughter of these beautiful animals. Even a drug addict to do this must have a very warped sense of reality. Heartbreaking to think of all the hard work these people have put in to have it destroyed by some maniac

> that is horribly upsetting.
