i sent them an email. here it is. you guys are gonna crack up at the sig.
ok here goes.
my name is aj. im 13 yrs old.
heres my opinion: the sea kitten campaign is ridiculous. i fish and i keep fish and i believe that if you provide adequate environments, giving enough room to simulate natural environments it is fine. keeping fish in bowls or plastic nano tanks is, i agree, disgusting, but in the wild, fish do not roam randomly. they haunt a specific territory for days. i dont believe that fish feel pain in the mouth region (other than that i believe they do, so people who scale fish alive, i really hate that practice.) i have my reasons for believing this, but im sure you guys dont want to field that minefield.
besides, i believe that fish, being almost as intelligent as humans, are proud creatures, and as a fish lover and someone who is quick to speak up against practices that hurt/abuse fish, i dont think that, if they could read, they would be very happy about being portrayed as cartoon creatures wearing whiskers and cat masks. in fact, they would find it degrating. i know i would.
so i hope im not on the list of people you can get on the bandwagon. i mean, im all for wiping out animal abuse, but at some point it gets to be too much.
