Starved male in need of help in GA

We don't have the extra cash but we would love to adopt/rehome him if someone could help him out. We were so disgusted that my husband fired an angry email to him/her.

I am the husband.

Email 1

You should truly be ashamed of yourself. That animal is almost, but not quite, starved to death. I hope you endure starvation to the point where your arms and legs are just as emaciated some day. Some people truly should not be breathing the air my dogs could be using and you are one of them.

Email 2

Again – you are a scumbag. Calling a dragon a “dwarf” because you starved it nearly to death is just disgusting.

I hope you starve to the point that you can’t lift your head before a person who is decent (unlike yourself) comes along and saves your sorry ass. I also hope you never again care for any animal. The animals deserve far better than you deserve.

Email 3

Let’s do this. You give it to us and we will nurse it back to health. Then we give it back to you on the condition that you sell it to a good home. That home will have to be approved by us and we will check in on them. You can’t sell it like it is – it looks horrible, it probably is not tame (it will be when it comes back from us) and it will at least be in good enough shape to make you a buck without you having to foot the bill for food along the way. Dragons cost about 50 bucks at a pet store.

I have no issues with being mean to someone like that. I defended his right to be a ^&#%^#@$#@%^$ with my life. I truly wish it was legal for me to kick his door in during dinner and beat them to within an inch of their life. My sound harsh. Umm.........yeah, probably is harsh. Am I a bad person to relish such a thing? If so, I am just bad.

How do you come to the idea that dragon is starved from the picture?

I personally would have blocked your email and ignored you.

the dragon doesn't look starved to me..

He is not a dwarf but is slightly skinny, but he is a 16 inch male. His body is going to be small. He could use a tid bit more food, but he is far from starving...

Not starving, no - but definitely thinner than he should be.

Honestly tho, what is this 'dwarf' beardie that people keep talking about - up until a week ago, I had never heard of people refering to any beardie in such a way. 16 inches = a smaller beardie not a dwarf. I have had 2 16 inch beardies, both of which were very well built little things!!

I've never heard about this, most people just say that they're smaller. I don't quite believe the "dwarf" dragon thing. I have an adult rescue that is almost 17 and shes not a dwarf by anymeans haha.

A dwarf is something that I stumbled across from bloodbank. Their bodies are really stocky with an abnormally long tail...

This is NOT a dwarf.

Chelly, do you have a link for this? I'm rather interested and would like to read/see it

Thanks for the link, they do have a much shorter body length making their tail look longer! I wonder if this term is used by other breeders.. hmmm. Or maybe a genetic defect?

 

[ChellyBeans]

Lol. It is a bad genetic defect.

 

[Kacymyree]

haha, seriously. I can only imagine the spinal problems they would have.

 

[ChellyBeans]

Nothing looks comfortable on those poor things.

Here are some examples of dwarfs.

Baby dwarf

Larger dwarf

They usually have a short round torso and a very short neck/or no neck.
