Well they did include a question mark as well.

You may have noticed that when I titled this I included a question mark. Having said that this is a ban that was pushed for by activist groups and not scientists or fisheries people. Although the initial target is salt water, once these things get started it can easily come to impact the fresh water industry as well before spilling over to other areas of pet keeping as we.. As I said reasonable regulation is not a bad thing but it needs to be based on good science and not knee jerk reactions by activist groups with no other agenda than to destroy the entire pet keeping industry including cat and dogs.

 

 

 

 

I was referring to the article, not the topic you made about it.

 

Still, it's a bit of a slippery slope to say that banning the collection of fish that have been documented to be in decline will have an impact on responsible areas of the pet trade.

 

 

How is that a slippery slope? The slippery slope is the slope into prohibition.
