Check out http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070124/ap_on_sc/disappearing_fish_1 George Patterson No one ever says "It's only a game." when his team is winning. Do you think anyone cares what China does to reef ecosystems ? If it was our country (US) conservation groups would be up our a.ses. This is sad...hunting with dynamite and cyanide ? Keep buying those Chinese goods. The reefs go first, then us. > Check out > http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070124/ap_on_sc/disappearing_fish_1 > > George Patterson > No one ever says "It's only a game." when his team is winning. Agreed. Start by staying away from WalMart, the biggest buyer of Chinese product. > Do you think anyone cares what China does to reef ecosystems ? > If it was our country (US) conservation groups would be up our a.ses.

Not only in Walmart but in Target, Kohls, Sears, and many other stores... Should we stay away from all our buying ? Even most of aquarium products like filters, powerheads, fish food or fish nets are made in China today... Maybe glass aquaria are not, because they are probably to heavy to ship overseas, but I am sure the black plastic frames on top and bottom of each tank are made in China and purchased there by US tank manufacturers :-) And what about American companies who moved their manufacturing departments to China already ? The Company I work for has done this many years ago... Should I recomend to my friends to not by products I made ? I live in USA - that would hurt me much if people stop buying :-) Not buying products made in China is shoting yourself in the foot. American economy relays on China goods to much today so your recomendation is totally not practical or even doable... Chinese economy also relays on American economy - it works both ways! Who do you work for ? Name a single American company not using directly or indirectly Chineese goods and I'll understand your advice. The chances are that even company YOU work for, if you produce something, has manufacturing in China or uses products made in China to create their own end-product... The problem with American-Chinese economy relationship is way more difficult to deal with than your simple aproach "dont buy at Walmart". That is silly advice... >> Agreed.

[quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > difficult to deal with than your simple aproach "dont buy at Walmart". > That is silly advice... I agree. Here in Oz we got a free trade agreement only way pet shops stay afloat is try onselling chinese goods everything from ehiem to 12 foot curved glass tanks. Chinese do it ALL and they are great to trade with, love to deal. If you are going to educate do it, don't be a hater! LOL I like chinese 10 extra points if ya know the rest of that song! w00000t Oh god the sick thrill of cracking that import shipping container fish junk heaven hell yes pilgrim hell yes. Swarvegorilla It's not just going on in China. It's going on in a lot of areas. Even in Florida some companies use chemicals to catch fish, and unfortunately it's even legal (though it's not cyanide, but qualdine[I'm too tired to look up the spelling]) that is used.

Quinaldine A colourless liquid used to anaesthetise fish prior to examination or surgery. It is also sometimes used to catch wild fish, but may be harmful to the environment. The chemical is the condensation product of aldehyde and aniline. > It's not just going on in China. It's going on in a lot of areas.
