To top it off,the guy is a vet.You would think with a background in science,it would be second nature for him to do the research and learn about pros/cons of keeping lionfish.

Talking

You would have thought a vet would know to immerse his arm in hot water.Or that the ER would know to treat by hot water immersion. Probably a good thing he got rid of the fish, these beautiful creatures deserve intelligent owners.

Another unfortunate story along the same lines: The father of a co-worker puchased a lion fish for his tank without doing his homework. He, of course, got stung and out of anger, flushed the lionfish killing it and plugging his toilet in the process.

What is wrong with people?!
