How about some details?
Where is this slop shop located?
Maybe more than just you and your friend can make the trip. I know if it is close to me I will join you.
Being a importer and distributor doesn't negate the laws on the books for animal cruelity. Try getting some agency involved that can have him shut down. Lord knows there are enough laws being passed to try to keep us from keeping herps. Let's try to use one that is on the books for the purpose is was actually designed for. This way we can point to it and say? Look this law is in place to protect animals from abuse and neglect, and this is how it is supposed to work. Banning all people from keeping herps as pets isn't the answer. Enforcing existing laws is."
If there is anyway to find out who he sells to, and then informing them of the conditions he keeps these animals in, it might presuade them to find their livestock elsewhere.
Just my 2 cents worth
