Aaaii. Some people will never learn. I also agree with you Panama. But what they are doing is wrong "already". Where the hell is natco when we need them? Stop the publishing of this issues. This sort of thing will make sure that certain species will remain on the CITES list

@panama, I think im trying to convince myself that theyre just little plastic scorps.

If the tarantula edition comes out it would probably be Curly's. Then they couldnt possibly put a 2nd instar so it would mean feeding and caring for 1000+ slings till they were all at least 5cm DLS and then culling them.
Its disgusting!!!

Name and shame, can't you just report this to NatCon?

Should it not be found out first, if indeed they are live caught and then killed?

I have requested the numbers for the magazine, and wont to give them a call and find out first hand.

I went on the website and took a screen shot using my phone:
"all the species have been grown on farms especially for this series. None of the species are threatened or endangered."

Judging by that image it doesnt seem like there is a tarantula edition.
