When you buy a goldfish at the store for change back from a dollar, do you mourn the loss of it when it suddenly up and dies? No, you scoop it out and flush it down the toilet and oh my god, your life continues without missing a beat. Personally, I think the fish look cool. Do I stop and think what "hardships" this particular fish had to endure to make it into the pet store? Again, no, I pay the six-dollars and am putting the fish into my tank thirty-minutes later. I love how "Brenda" put in her notice at the local PetCo (or where ever) after learning that the fish are "dyed". Does she sleep better at night, thinking she did her part for "the cause"? Hey, why don't you go join PETA and sacrifice a cow because that's just what they [PETA-people] do. Yeah, cause that makes soooo much sense. Do you know how small these fish are? Their brains? I do not believe that these one-inch fish have the intellect that rivals us humans, or even the upper echelon of the food chain? And "Karen" tells us that it's "inhumane" and "ethically wrong": lacking humanity and compassion, dishonorable and immoral? Is it just me, or are these some serious and harsh accusations she is throwing out? And for fish no less. Oh and one more thing. Karen, when I say it is just a fish, I mean, it is just a fish. Am I an inhumane person for saying so? That would be a negative. Try swallowing your own load of crap the next time you swat a mosquito that lands on your arm this summer. How dare you kill that mosquito. How dare you rob it of it's own short existence here on this earth because it was a nuisance to you and ultimately just wanted some of your blood. Shame on you.

I have brought this to the Tropical management supervisors, and they said that they feel it makes a better and quicker sale. They also stated that this process was NOT painful, and they will continue doing it. I did put in my resignation after that, and plan on proceeding with this.

They are living creatures not ornaments as they are so often treated. If you should not dye a dog then you should not dye a fish. I think is horrible the way fish are treated and coming from being in the retail fish trade in the past, the way people treat them, they literally do not care about them, "It is just a fish" is sad and such an inhumane statement. They don't ask to be here, stuffed in tanks where they cannot swim, usually in unhealthy conditions. But because they have no fur and most don't make any sound people just don't care. Plus there is NO REASON to dye fish. Just another way to make money. Just another way no one cares that these creatures are living things. humanity is dead I think.

Two inhumane acts - dying for looks and then robbing the fish of what life they did have. Thirdly, why should these fish have to pay with their life because they were subjected to an illegal act?
