Documentary Film on Pufferfish-With Me as Host!

Nice going Jeni! Can't wait to see you getting one of those stick tapping tats from an aged ole' master!

I've got an idea about getting Kalvin in the shot. You gotta go out and buy one of those gold fish bowls. Train Kalvin to stick his head in it and you can dip in the water so the dog is checking out the tank underwater like a camera box! If you can do that, you should be a shoo in!
Not only does Pufferpunk love her tanks, so does her trusty side kick Kalvin . . .
 
Actually, my lil ole lady neighbor is feeding him while Hubby & I go on vacations. I guess he could go over there & beg...
 
I think this is awesome! I do have a question tho. It seems like there will be times were the treatment of puffers would not be ideal such as in the medicinal areas and certainly in the restaurants. Knowing your passion for puffers and animals in general are you concerned how this may affect you? Seeing things that you may not ever be able to change and have to report/film objectively?
 
I think that should be covered in the film. I don't think I could do this without being on the puffer's side of things. I am well aware of how puffers are treated in Japan (it's absolutely horrible--leaving them out of water by the 100's to struggle to their death). I'm hoping that will be shown. I also added my $.02 about the poor treatment of them at wholesaler's & even in pets hops (ie Walmart), where 100 of them are stuffed into a 10g tank, to bite each other to death & die from ammonia/nitrite poisoning. Also, many being BW puffers sold as FW fish that eat flakes, when they are actually BW fish that nead crunchy foods.

If I do, I'll make sure Kalvin's carrying it. He gets blames for all the farts, why not the weapons?

I forgot all about Calven's flatulence problem :)
