Anyone ever been caught with an illegal asian aro?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
So wait...Am I the only one that asks "Is it better to kill it than let someone care for it?" WTF Over?

Someone would have cared for them like they were their own child, but instead lets fine someone and kill them...Ladies and Gentlemen I give you the Government! Idiots!
 
Wasn't that bag of fish in Australia from a woman that had them stuffed in her clothes to make it look like she was pregnant? I remember seeing it on BBC world. They said it like 100k worth of fish.

Well the fish bag skirt was a woman, but she only had one asian aro and they said it was like 30K worth of fish, btu the asians they said there were 16 in a man's bags, suitcases, etc.


I don't understand why they killed them, thats just stupid and pompous. The reason they killed them was because they were afraid of them making one of their species extinct, but this one is already near extinction, but since its not from australia, they can kill it. At least thats how it sounds like they justified it. It sounded like their australian species were more important than every other species in the world. I mean they even took it to an aquarium and they told them they were endangered asian aros. They could have cared for them.


While some laws are stupid, they have to be obeyed. I wouldn't mind moving to another country anyway. This asian aro is just another little reason for me to get out of america.

Also getting tickets for skateboarding that cost more than that of running a red light.

And the pisspoor economy.

And the people running the country.

Is american the only country that constantly claims they are the best?

That is more pompous than australia killing endangered species because they aren't indiginous to their area.

That is common practice in alot of places. Im not saying it ok as its totally stupid its just pretty common.
And yes when the animals are here in Australia our animals are more important. Already near extinction?? Only because the tight ass Asian countries they come from wont buy some of these fish farm bred stock and release them into the wild. Ide bet Hobbiests in the US kill more Asian Aro's then are even brought to Aus each year too.
