Afrikan Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 The fighting fish, known for their sometimes aggressive behaviour, have since been humanely euthanised. Gee non fish people would read the above quote and picture a vicious looking fish, with fangs hanging out everywhere :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 If it was me it would have been something like freshwater rays or cuttlefish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loopy Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 i wanna know why they thought the fish had to be put down? could they not have been taken to a quarentee facility? Do you think they would handle the situation the same if it was Pandas that were being smuggled in? I am just having trouble understanding why they put the fish down.

Afrikan Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Probably because Pandas are endangered.... There are many animal/reptile that have been imported into the country over the many years that have been euthanased.... so the case of the fighters is no different.

SpidersWeb Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 The lesson here is clear. When illegally importing fish, use lead fish bags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ira Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 Because, basically, anything that's illegally imported has to be either destroyed or sent back out of the country. They might bother trying to find an option for pandas, but siamese fighters aren't real animals, they're little slimy high maintenance ornaments.

ryanjury Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 lol and with their highly aggressive tendancies they probably wont find many supporters willing to pay for their quarantine etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ant N Posted July 3, 2008 Report Share Posted July 3, 2008 They may have been worried that if the "Fighters" escaped it could be the end of our trout population (after all they were here first.......right?) Anyone hear "knee jerk"? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
