    Tom is a great guy super nice if any one has to say something bad about him they are just jealous of what he has done and accomplish in the reptile industry. He did what he did because it was ok back then and they really did not have laws and regulations and he took advantage. You can thank him for bringing stuff in that you probably would never be able to have if it wasn't for him. Truly a great guy he should not be looked down on or hated for what he did. He should be praised for all the conservation and good things he has brought to the reptile industry and bringing animals back from extinction.

      Not true at all, there were laws because he broke them and was prosecuted 3 times. And smuggling endangered species is the opposite of bringing them back from extinction - it's driving them towards it

    Great start to season two Kenan. Watched episode two already but thought I'd drop a comment here. Crutchfield truly is a legend, and despite all the negativity that is sometimes brought up when his name is mentioned - our hobby/industry would not be what it is today.
    I gained much of my care and knowledge for Cyclura from David Blair and Crutchfield combined after many conversations over the phone. I'll be tuning in here now that you'll only be posting here. Should be uploading a new video today and I'll make sure to drop you a shoutout - hopefully send some of my subs that haven't subbed to you already over.
    Keep the vids coming, live easy.

    @johnfigueroa4784 7 лет назад +1

    That guy Tom to me seems like more of an animal lover than the Peta ppl. I do believe that he probably knows more about those animals than a person who has a degree and it is because he has actually been working with them and watching them studying and learning from that experience. Seems more of an animal hero than most. Kinda like one of those biblical people who did crazy things but then took all that experience and turned it into a learning experience for me and everyone else. Thanks Tom for your time and help with everything!

      ***** Now that you're on your own, I feel more confident asking you if you'd do an episode specifically about US-native turtles, the native animals and plants they benefit from, and about their habitats. Native animals mean a lot to me and its rare for shows to focus on them. Its nice learning about what's in our own backyard sometimes.
