i just heard on radio this morning now theres a petition to kill the snakehead...
im speechless...
people are so dumb sometimes:screwy:
what is their cause? kill the snakehead? great, what if they achieve the cause? what goods comes out of it? theyre probably not anti-snakehead, just people who want to make waves...

My boyfriend delivers the Post Standard newspaper... a typo the other day said Rocky was 28 FEET long... made me smile.

Good Luck Chris!

the coney island aquarium is opening up a new wing, meant for the amazon but its a very big hall, strictly freshwater, im sure they wouldnt mind taking in a Snakehead...after all, it would get good publicity...can anyone here send them an email?...i went to their home page but i couldnt find the email. or even better, the bronx zoo. they could put the fish in the rainforest pond with the turtles, Tilapias, Pangassius Catfish, Gouramis, and Dwarf Caimans...if not they have tons pf other places...
no reason for this fish to die, im SURE theres SOMEWHERE that can take him!
 
I can see both sides of the story, I do feel for this guy and his fish, after so long together I just can't get my head around someone who made a law after he bought it saying 'sorry and all but the law say I have to kill it' There has to be an alternative option, people have said move it to Canada/Uk great but that would be illegal, if the fish has been purchased after the ban then it's a different story but it wasn't. I don't know the law over there so I can't really comment on that, but I've seen many threads about illegal fish being kept in public aquariums, with difficult to obtain permits, this has got to be the way in this case.

The only thing I can relate it to over here is the dangerous animals act 1976 , a lot of exotics were released into the wild, this is simply not the case here, fish was purchased in 99 the law was changed in 04, if he was going to release it he would, it's been 5 years since.

I hope a sensible solution is found
