reptile-878x494The Reptile Guy in Mission isn’t closing his doors…at least not right now.
We had heard that closing was a possibility, as Mike Hopcraft had been given 2 weeks to comply with orders from the SPCA to have all of his animals examined by a veterinarian. He was given until January 3rd. But in an email from the Reptile Guy, they say they have a lawyer who is in communication with the SPCA now, and they’re not providing details to the media at this point….but they did confirm the doors are staying open. Early last month, the SPCA raided the animal resuce centre and seized a number of reptiles and other critters, citing animal welfare concerns. Hopcraft has vehemently denied the accusations.
