Policies?

[scase]

I hope this is the correct venue for this, but I was wondering if LiveAquaria has any policies concerning environmental/social responsibility for collection. Especially, the use of cyanide in catching. I should note that I am a big fan of both DF&S and LiveAquaria, and this is meant as a genuine inquiry, not meant to generate debate amongst the readers.
Thanks!

Thank you for the inquiry.

I will leave this for Kevin Kohen, the director of LiveAquaria.com to address. I believe he is in Florida at the moment but will be available for comment next week.

Please do a little searching here on RC and on LiveAquaria.com as Kevin has already published information on this very issue. He also addressed some of these concerns on the nationally recognized Animal Planet television series and on NBC's, In the Loop and on the Dr. Foster and Smith's Faithful Friends television series. Great question, Kevin will elaborate when he returns.

scase,

The well being of the specimens we offer is our primary concern. We have addressed this in the past and you are able to view this Up Close article here: Ethical Livestock Collection

If you have further questions concerning our practices please feel free to contact us.

Thanks! Exactly what I was looking for. I also found one of the posts from Kevin.
