I saw this article in an Austrian newspaper: http://derstandard.at/1362107758746...ldkroeten-als-lebende-Gluecksbringer-in-China
about how living animals are sealed in bags and sold as lucky charm keychains in China... Abominable.
Someone would have to be a truly disgusting person to actually want one of those. That is torture, makes me sick.
It reminds me of when the guys from Tanked put a bunch of sharks in that idiot Tracey Morgan's tank. Who's taking care of them? How many are still alive? I'd really like to know.
I have no use for people who pay someone to throw a bunch of fish into their tanks.
I agree with the sentiment. Just remember, as long as someone is buying, for any reason, they'll keep doing it.:sad1: When the anti-porn nuts were burning porn mags at the gas stations around here, the new reporters asked the publishers for comment. They said they didn't care what people did with them after they bought them.I want to buy all of those keychains and release all the creatures inside.
Tracy Morgan is actually an animal activist and I can only assume is taking care of his new additions considering all of his other tanks are still thriving.
Not nice to pick on someone just because they play a moron on tv...

I was almost kicked out of a Petsmart about a year ago because I was critical of their practice of only changing the water in their Betta cups about once a week.Another thing that bothers me, while we are on this subject, is the treatment and sale of Bettas. I bought one about a year ago from the LFS before I knew better. They were happy to sell me a bowl and some food telling me he would be just fine in there. Being the type of person I was, I did some research when I got home and found out that is not an acceptable environment for them in which to live. I went out and bought a 12g Fluval edge, cycled it, put a bunch of real plants in there and some rock work. It is now home to my beloved Betta Frank. (I really do love that little guy!)
A few weeks ago, I was in the LFS buying some new plants for Frank's tank and the employee informed me that Bettas didn't like to swim when I commented that I hated seeing 75 Bettas confined to a cup slightly larger than a Dixie cup. I quickly informed him that he was 100% wrong and that all Frank does is swim. Up, down, left right all day long. I don't even like going in the plant room because that's where they keep all the poor little Bettas in their cups. I want to buy them all and take them home. /rant
