Concern re: selling mimics [changed title]

The latest from our friends at FS...

Geographic News

This is a link at the side of Fish Supply's livestock home page. It is text from a National Geographic article about mimic octopus, including this:

Mark Norman of the Melborurne Museum in Australia said:
Having studied many octopus species in the wild, I am never surprised by the color and shape change capacities of these animals, however, this animal stood out as it was the only one we've encountered that goes beyond camouflage to take on the guise of dangerous animals.

I wonder if Dr. Norman knows that his words are being used above a "buy it now" button.

I can't believe that he would support such a thing. I hope not, at least.
