If you read through the first five pages of this thread, you'll see that this topic has already essentially been covered. If the stores want the respect of the reefers on this board, they need to start being responsible. Even if you want to put profit ahead of livestock health, you still have to remember that a happy animal is a happy customer. You're an Economics major right?

The marine aquarium trade is fundamentally different from most other industries. If a car comes off the line a lemon, it can be replaced. If a poinsettia has a pest on it, the nursery can throw it out and grow another. But every animal that comes out of the ocean is one less in the ocean, and one less to propagate the species. The environmentalists know this, the governments know this, are the stores going to clue in before it's too late and harvesting/importing of livestock is completely banned?
