livingart Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 http://www.stuff.co.nz/national/8128833 ... e-poisoned A Wellington marine centre lost over half of its marine life in a devastating act of vandalism overnight. Arriving to the centre at Wellington's historic bait shed at about 10am, Island Bay Marine Education Centre discovery programme manager Julian Hodge found the water system had been dosed with chlorinated detergent, poisonous to many of the marine species in the tanks. http://www.octopus.org.nz/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SamH Posted December 29, 2012 Report Share Posted December 29, 2012 This is absolutely disgusting, people like this need to be stopped now before they do further harm. Stuff like this isn't a harmless prank or joke, it's the start of murderous psychopaths. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sophia Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 yes but how did the vandals get to the water supply in the first place, where was it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted December 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 just tip bleach in each tank :dunno: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 I just hope they beef up their security. Presumably they were not running any carbon filters. It is hard to imagine the mentality of the people who did this, but looks like all zoos/aquaria etc need better security. Looks like they broke into the water supply which was outside the building. PS: An anonymous philanthropist is offering to pay for a security camera system and to fund a guard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aotealotl Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 in cases like this if caught they should have to inhale chlorine into their lungs and slowly suffocate with a burning feeling in their chest...

F15hguy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I agree.... but maybe in public at a educational display on the effects of chlorine on living organisms Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camtang Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 if you are going to do that for case's of animal curiltey, you have to do it with human cruitley which in my opinion is much more importent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F15hguy Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 I agree with that as well.... but in this PC world...... a bit of starvation treatment for those that con people out of their money.... public flogging for assault... public flogging by the local womens shelter for assault on a woman. covered in cheese spread and left in a cage full of wild rats for animal cruelty murder = death mass murder = torture then death public nuisance = a large alarm clock going off at completely random times constantly... with no snooze button seriously instead of treating the problem make the lil craps too scared to try that sort of thing....

alanmin4304 Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 The death penalty does not work anywhere in the world and it is a bit hard to apologise when we make a mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

livebearer_breeder Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Just like animals, some humans deserve to be culled. Have no issues with the death penalty, definatly deters some. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
