* I miss spoke and said "Piama", i meant Piaba. Below is a link to their great work. https://projectpiaba.org/where-we-work/brazilamazon/ Why this issue is nowhere near black and white, as many people believe...and quite possibly, shouldn't even be called a "controversy" at all, watch to see how the industry has changed enormously in the last 25 years. to support my videos and channel, while also getting great backer rewards, from original artwork to my personal home bred strains, visit the link below. Thank you! https://www.patreon.com/somainkdesigns It's been a debate for 60 years now. I want to shed some light on this issue, and discuss what Ive learned in 20 years of fish keeping and months of talks with, fish farmers, wholesalers, co-ops, basement breeders and rare fish keepers around the world. Here is insight into How YOU can make a difference, as a consumer, regardless of your stance on the issues Should we take fish from the wild and support the native economy, which often saves the ecosystems in the long run, but possibly depletes the fish stocks? Or do we raise them in giant ponds in Florida -under strict state guidelines , veterinary care and university researchers. And Why do big box store fish look so unhealthy at some stores? Who's fault is that?
Do you want to develop black polar bears for human entertainment, or protect the whole of the Arctic??
I'm glad bears can't be kept the same way that small fish do. I guess that by now you know what I'm saying. They might be domesticated, but they're not things. They're animals. They need and deserve our respect and knowledge, they depend on us.
... And who knows if you can even save an entire species from extinction? Hah, just look at the White cloud mountain minnow.
One beautiful, intriguing planet. Do your best. Cheers:)
