I dont know, I kinda like Parrots. I just wish that the breeders were more careful about the combo, so you could get a Blood Parrot minus the beak that diesnt closePyramid_Party;2564279; said:

I know, they discuss it like it's nothing. They dont say "Do this at your own risk" or "use anestethics" or "this is painful to your fish" It's just like "Heyy peoplez here's how you torture and mutilate your pet!!"micstarz;2564866; said:
The tailless fish are not good-looking anyway! They're just magnets for bullying. Sure if I could I would "adopt" a fish that mayve lost its tail in a fight, but not cut off with scissors!!
you are over generalizing the country.. in fact to complain about their over population is pretty trivial considering their own actions towards it and the fact that anywhere with a time span of thousands of years can be easily characterized as "overpopulated".mr_cool_guy;2564336; said:
I do agree that the lack of human rights and yes, even the planning/spending for the Olympic stadium does not seem reasonable- but such things happen everywhere often- sadly as it is.
Hopefully, China and anyone else(apparently there is a demand in the United States and Europe(UK)) can understand how such practices are detrimental to the fish hobby industry and nature itself. Best thing to do is educate and get the word out.
Tailless, tattooed, unnatural augmented fish are ridiculous and pointless.
My sincere appologies to any and all users here that like these in any form, but thats exactly why i dispise those parrots flowerhorns etc. I am the first to admit that there is natural hybridization in nature, BUT to intentionally cross a red devil and severum to get that bloated deformity is ...weird, ill have to admit that some of the flowerhorns are attractive. But this article makes me so mad i could eat Christmas candy 
. While im eating this will someone take a switch or whiffle ball bat to those guys ??.. and please direct any of your aggressive responses to Drewish who shows up here occasionally.

but part of me has to say this and maybe im crazy but....
how many of u own boxers, dobermans, pitbullls, great danes ect. no matter if they do put the dogs under for the procedure , its still very painful and in the end arent those dogs cropped tails and ears just fr the appealing look? hasnt the akc formed stadard for tons a breeds where this is a must? not just this but other diformaties? im just wondering isnt this the same thing as some people wanting their fish without tails or dyed? many breeds have health problems and shortened life spans becuase of their diformaties that are a must for the breed standard. ridgebacks actuall have the ridgeback becuase of deformed spines.
im just saying the tail cutting is horrible for the blodd parrots but if u think about why would the general public think its that horribl and not buy them if there a dozens of dog breeds than most of us own that have cut tails and ears just for a look. u think "diy docked ears and tails" kits for dogs wont be flying of the shelves?
its sad yes, but what can u expect?fish are always and will always be treated this way.
