Ha, ha! Slap, slap, slap. Seriously, all you can do is offer a little advice and then let it go. You can't make someone take care of their fish the way you want them to.

I have thought about that kind of thing too, but in the end it would just end up making like difficult on those that do take propler care of their fish.

Rome bans cruel treatment to animals

A good link

Is she that lady in every office that wouldn't get up and walk to anywhere if she thought it might make her work "too hard," and thus asks everyone else to do everything for her; then proceeds to talk about everyone behind their backs? Followed up by the fact that any time anything tragic happens in the world, she cries and acts like she personally knew everyone involved and thus holds the only opinion allowed on how people should feel?

Ihave a friend who keeps getting common plecos to go with his goldfish. his maintenece involves redoing the tank with new water every now and then. the tank is a large one, I think 40gL but still not big enough for the golds, and he has seven of them, along with a HUGE albino frog(like the size of your hand). he also got a zebra cichlid to put in it, but the frog ate it. thankfully, last time I was at his house, I found his new pleco dead (thankfully because it won't have to suffer for years). I tried giving him fish web sites, telling him why he can't put a pleco in his tank(even explainig what happens when a fish gets stunted) but he does'nt care (and he even said that). Sometimes you just have to deal with the fact that sometimes fish are gonnna live horrible Lives and a lot of people don't care.

What people do to animals here in the states is awful. There are some ignats down the road who have two 4 year old horses, a stud (hoping to make money breeding him) and his half-sister. They are in adjoining "pastures," secured by 2 strands of 1/2 inch white plastic electric fence tape; each has @ 1acre, metal water trough in pasture (mmmm nice and warm in summer) and NO shelter whatsoever. Trees, pole barn, run in, nothing. Their growth is stunted. No hay; pastures have been overgrazed, @ 1 half is mud.

They also have a bloodhound ***** (registered, paid 1,000.00 for her), crazy mean, finally bought a 1,000.00 year-old stud puppy (which would have built some kind of shelter for the horses); they had 6 whelps, 1 died, sold one, have 4 almost full grown now fenced up underneath the deck (one-story modular, @ 4 feet tall) with their pappy they built instead of once again putting up any kind of shelter for the horses. (They will take no less than 1,000.00 for each pup.)

A number of us in my saddle club have tried to have something done at least for the horses, but North Carolina's animal treatment laws aren't too good. It is inconceivable that 5 full grown bloodhounds are housed underneath a wooden deck!!! My feeling has become that people who treat their animals with such little consideration or respect should be dragged behind a POS pickup truck down a gravel road. Severe, I know, but I see these animals every day.

Sorry to go on and on, but it absolutely bumfuggles my mind that this can still occur!!! :sad: :devil: :rant2: :thud:
