they are in plastic cages, and the person is going to throw them away- in Southern August heat. They will die horrible, slow deaths.

You are correct, the exotic animal trade needs to stop. I am terrified of spiders, but I am not cruel or stupid. If one comes in my house, they are put in a "relocation facility" (an upside down mixing bowl), and taken outside on a piece of cardboard. There is no reason for a living thing (except cockroaches)- to suffer like that.
