This conversation is very confusing
Have you never picked wildflowers for your girlfriend?
Brought a fish home from a fishing trip?
Known anyone who gets a dear every year?
Planted a garden with imported topsoil?
Used any product from any manufacturer who needed to use any raw materials?
When did moral conscience
about some water weeds take over
or am I missing the point completely
With out demand, supply is worthless
If we didn't eat the fruit of this world
Mother Nature would let it ferment
and ask is if we'd prefer a drink instead
Help her out, and apprecaite wat she provides

I once took some vals from a local pond.. I don't know it just seemed like a better idea than buying them from my LFS, long run I found a dragonfly nymph in my tank a week later made a cool pet until my crappie decided it was dinner. Aside from that, the vals grew fine and luckily no parasites and such besides the nymph were ever found.
I do not see a problem with it at all if you pick a few for yourself,HOWEVER... if you do not treat the plants you will DEFINITELY bring home parasites and odd bugs etc. and potentially kill your fish if not at least get them sick.It's not worth the risk unless you plan on bleaching them and hopefully you do that right and it kills off anything harmful to your fish.
In my opinion its just not worth the hassle.

My hippy logic says if you're pulling plants out of the river ripping them up and laughing maniacally...thats bad.
If you're picking specimens from an ecosystem which you wish to cultivate, observe, study, enjoy or what-have-you (whether you intend to keep them alive or not) then thats cool.
Controlled chaos...I'm a fan.

This is more of a philosophical question more than anything. If everyone picks all the apples out of the apple trees what would happen? Mother nature has a way of replenishes natural resources, apples would grow back next year. Only when the resources are limited is there a concern. Unless the plants you plan on taking are on the brink of extinction, I say go for it.
You can't "steal" from mother nature since she has nothing to sell.
