well said justin. the entire hobby needs major reconstruction, starting with collection methods and mortality reduction before the livestock even hits the tank. we have to stop considering live animal trades the same as any other merchandise... the fact that these are living breathing animals needs to be taken into consideration. we continue doing the same old crap, our hobby will be in serious danger of being shut down by legislation. in fact, if we continue what we're doing, im sad to say that i think import *should* be shut down by legislation.
