I feel kind of bad suggesting this, but has anyone considered contacting the Alberta SPCA? I know they handle animal complaints of all kinds, maybe they could help little guy. I already sent a letter asking what types of cases they handled, just to get more info.

And they say its a very happy dragon . . . WTF, who could be happy living like that.

I sooo wish I was in Canada, Id take the poor fella in in a heartbeat. Hes so skinny and dull and looks like hes in deperate need of a soak or 2
 
Well, I tried. They won't do anything. :angry5: :angry5: :angry5: :angry5: :angry5: Here's the letter they sent:

Good Afternoon,

Thank you for taking the time to contact us unfortunately we are unable to respond to every picture that is posted on the internet, in this case kijiji, as it does not depict the entire situation/condition. We are also not able to know when this picture was taken etc.

As you can appreciate we only have 7 Peace Officers to deal with animal neglect throughout the entire Province and therefore it is impossible to take action on all the adverts placed.

That being said if you are interested in this bearded dragon and decide to pursue or have someone attend the property on your behalf and they see the condition and still have concerns at that point then please call us with the details of your findings and we will assist you from there.

I have made a note on our system for the Peace Officer that covers the Balzac area so they are aware and if they would like to take further action they then can do so.

Kind Regards

The vision of the Alberta SPCA is to have every animal in Alberta humanely treated

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It doesn't depict the whole situation?!?! WTH?!?!?! I am so mad right now I want to SCREAM!!!!!!!! PLEASE guys...Maybe if enough of us write in to these people, we can get them to do something!

[email protected] is what I emailed, and this is the contact info:
Report Animal Abuse and Neglect

To report animal abuse or neglect:

in Edmonton, call the Edmonton Humane Society at 780-491-3502
in Calgary, call the Calgary Humane Society at 403-205-4455
Everywhere else in Alberta, call the
Alberta SPCA Animal Protection Services at
1-800-455-9003.

We cannot let this poor baby suffer. I'm not trying to tick anyone off or start anything, but I can't save this little guy, and the people who call him happy?! Well, I can't say what I really think. There are kids on these boards. But there's the info. I really think if enough people report it, someone's got to check it out. If not, GOD HELP ME I will go to a news network!

It seems the post is gone now, although there is a pair for 260 without a pic. Maybe the officer in that area did look in on the dragon, I hope, i hope, I hope! I hope it got help, and I know how frustrating these posts are. :cry: I can't look on Craigslist at this point because there are so many adults in bad condition, or tiny babies that come from breeding undersized, underaged dragons and I just get mad. :angry5:

I just set Swordtail's timer for his bath and paused it so I could actually fill his soaking bowl up and he crawled over my phone and canceled the timer 🤣
Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
