No, no don't ban rippers, information is power, the more we learn from these animals the better we will be at thwarting their efforts. Already we know that they won't always rip on the first go around, so game cams can if checked in time give you a heads up. Sifted sand can also show foot traffic which can tip us off. We are gorilla growers, we have to have very active imaginations to do what we do, lets put them to use, and not only stop these ripper animals, but really stop them! For example, if you have more than one small (six plants or less) gorilla grow and find that a ripper has discovered one, WAIT. Get your ducks in a row, find out or deduce when the ripper will return by hiding. When the ripper returns let him have his day in the sun, but try to follow him, if you can't than at that moment place a cell call, yup dime him out to 5-0 ha! Now the animal is in a world of hurt, and your karma is still intact. Than let the county inmates they have a ripper in their mitts, and let nature take its course. This is easier to do than you think try it and good luck.
