You earlier posted about articles and evidence. Though I have asked twice already about both, you have yet to produce either.
I do believe all of us wish that had been different, but it is past now, and time to move on. If you choose to carry a grudge, fine.
Articles and evidence? Look over the past two years of posts, Thales. Since the arrival of mimic and wonderpus to our lfs's, how many have you seen? A dozen? Two dozen? I am not going to argue the point with you for too long, it seems that some of us want everybody and their brother to know the joys of keeping rare cephalopods, and to hell with the cost to the wild animals.
I am trying to look at this objectively, but am losing perspective when bashed with simplicity. I can't send you every pm I have gotten...or every email. If you don't believe me, or Colin, or any of the others, then fine...I can't change beliefs.
The truth is: Rare octopus are being imported, without much regulation. Broadcasting news of how wonderful they are willy-nilly does not help keep the importation and collection down, it increases it. Exponentially.
Many of you seem fine with that. I find that pathetic.
