heart shaped parrots

[ersico]

i know in the past and even the present there have been much debate and talk about hybrids being inhumane. i too am not a fan, however i myself have 4 blood parrots i bought a while ago and are actually doing great in a tank with 2 oscars and some catfish...but besides that.......back to my story...so here goes, im at walmart today which i know....bad stuff about walmart.....so no need to get into. i will say though i do get alot of healthy lionhead goldfish and have gotten butterfly koi there also for good price and they have lived for years (going on 3 so far) but there i am scoping out the fish and i see wrote on the glass "THIS MONTHS SPECIAL HEART SHAPED PARROTFISH" ( they were selling for i think $14.63) :mad2:I DIDNT THINK MUCH TIL I LOOKED CLOSELY AND THEY WERE THE ONES WITH NO TAIL. it instead of making me mad, got me kinda sad. that there they were at such a large chain store, which means theres alot more where these came from. of course i didnt get any. and they were swimming around quite calmly but i thought, this just SUCKS!....thats all, im done venting.
oh ya, i took some pics with my cell phone. thanks for listening:devil:

ugh. the best thing i can say is at least they weren't tattoo'ed with hearts, flowers, or "i love you". poor fishies. hybrids are one thing, cutting a body part off of a living creature is quite another.

:iagree: and although it is inhumane, as long as there is a demand it will be met, especially from a place like Walmart.

There is no way such practice can stop as long as there is a demand which is very unfortunate for most of us.

Yes I have seen the procedure in person. There were also some links on the internet about it from a Japanese/Chinese site (sorry forgot the links). I hope it disappears from the market along with the dyed and tattooed ones. It's just too cruel for the fish.

As long as there is demand, unfortunately, it cannot be stopped.
