I agree with just about everybody that has posted so far, but dont see the sense in getting all worked up about it, like it was said before, we declaw cats, clip dog ears and tails, brand livestock with a white hot iron, and kill billions and billions of insects each year with our cars and trucks. If you dont like it, dont buy them, put they arent going anywhere any time soon as long as people that dont know any better keep buying them. Most people dont see fish as a dog or a cat or any other domesticated animal. When it comes down to it, they are food! MOST americans dont eat dogs, cats, hamsters, horses, parrots, or ferrets. MOST americans do however eat fish, (my favorite food to be honest), it naturally desensitizes people into believing that fish are not important and dont require as much attention as a most other pets, and its true. Im gonna quit rambling before i get carried away, but although i did post on THIS thread, i think most of these threads are a waste of time, we dont have the power to change things like this and we probably never will. America thrives off of supply and demand. If i offended anyone, at least I was being honest.
