      ****** payment information including date, transaction number, amount and total amount paid. Your Transaction ID: 1RXXXXXXNXXXXXXXX Merchant Transaction ID: 1RFXXXXXEFXXXXXXH Purchase Date: March 26, 2022 Payment to: Panhandle Exotics *******@AffordableReptiles.com Total amount charged/payed: $1220.10 I had bought a red fox from panhandle exotics down in Pensacola Florida for the amount of $1, 220.10. On agreement of purchase I was under the impression that payment submitted also meant animal purchased would be transported with all proper transport documents along with age appropriate vaccines. Upon receiving the fox I was informed that the pet store panhandle exotics had signed a rabies certificate not only under their store name but also under my personal name as well. The animal had no vaccinations no flea preventative was not on a proper diet as the shipper had no direction to follow band had never transported a fox. Also the shipper had the fox in a state of illegal ownership for 10 days. This is something the pet store knew about and had initially caused disagreement due to the fact that my billing address was in the state of Texas at the time of purchase. So due to the fact that not only did I receive an improperly papered animal that was not given age appropriate vaccines, the pet store signed my name and signature as acknowledgment for an exempt of rabies as well as the improper nutritional care while in the transporters home which is in the state of Texas and is very much illegal to house own care for or otherwise facilitate or provide a shelter for a red fox as texas law prohibits even transport of a red fox through the state. With that said there was lack of care lack of human and animal safety forgery upon many other moral obligation indifferences and corner cutting and law breaking actions that the exotic pet store had partaken in. My animal was at any point in time at risk of being seized. I could have lost all invested funds due to no return policy
