Public Statement on Intellectual Property Infringement

It has come to my attention that original content from my work featured on CrabStreetJournal.org and in my book, *The Complete Guide to Land Hermit Crab Care*, has been plagiarized by a Facebook group administrator and a related website. This unauthorized use of my intellectual property is deeply concerning and undermines the years of dedicated research, writing, and community support I have invested in educating others about proper hermit crab care.

I have always been committed to sharing accurate, science-based information to promote the well-being of land hermit crabs and to support a responsible and informed community. My work is a product of countless hours of research, collaboration, and personal experience, and it is disheartening to see it used without permission or proper attribution.

I am currently taking the necessary steps to address this violation of my rights and to ensure that proper credit is given to original sources of information. I kindly urge the community to be mindful of the sources they support and to respect the hard work and dedication of content creators who strive to provide valuable resources.

If you come across content that appears to be copied from CrabStreetJournal.org or *The Complete Guide to Land Hermit Crab Care* without proper credit, please bring it to my attention. Your support in protecting original work and fostering a respectful community is greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support.
