i not no mention is made of the man many stockists who have signed up to a charter not to sell these fish.

alot of what is in this article is true and many many fish die every year due to the hoby. that said alot of money and research into habitat conservation is bourne out of the hobby as well.

why would anyone care about reefs if not for the aquarium trade.

billions of fish are eaten for dinner every year how many have you had yourself. while this article is acurate it is a little imbalanced does it mention the fairtrade practices being introduced for fish collection to help people and fish alike. does it mentoion breeders reintroducing fish to the wild. many many aquarium hobbyists are the same people working ona nd donating to conservation programs.

their are also laws which govern what can be taken from and how from the seas.

ill be honest if you drive a car or watch tv you are killing reefs faster than aquarists. indeed just being on your computer is killing reefs.

Doncha luv it ! Such an authoritative statement from someone demonstrating that they have fewer neurons (let alone pain receptors) than an anchovy.

In most of the world, Lego me old brick, nobody gets charged with cruelty to animals of any sort (in some places that even extends to children and to rape victims). The fact that nobody in Korea, for example, gets charged with cruelty to dogs for dislocating their legs and hanging them up pre-cooking PROVES – according to your argument – that Korean dogs feel no pain. Otherwise they wouldn’t let people do it, would they?
