The only thing that the government cares about is not the welfare of any fish, but the dollar amount they extravagantly attached to them and not getting a cut of the action...see article for case in point.

Sucks that some of them 'died in federal custody'.

Poor fish to have made it that far to be killed by the feds.
He got off easy the first time,theyll probably throw the book at him now.

Has anyone seen the NY Post this Morning? There is an article about a man trying to smuggle 16 asian arowanas from Malaysia into JFK airport!

I will scan the article when I have a chance so u guys can read it! He would have gotten away with it if not for the luggage the aros were in being misplaced! Sadly the 16 aros died. What a shame!

how could they have not seen them when they scanned the luggage?

I just posted a message about this article! I read it in the paper on my way to work! What saddens me is that 16 aros had to die because of this guy.

I have no idea! I mean that was my first thought when I read the article! Apparently his luggage got lost and thats how they found out about them! Someone else posted a link to the article...

Since they are being farmed overseas they should lift the import ban. A bunch of bs!
