Dyed Fish Sales Not Being Outlawed In Uk

[qwikimpss]

No, Glo Fish aren't dyed. They are genetically engineered. Originally to be used as an "indicator species" for water pollution, then the people who developed them realized they could sell them and got greedy.

Well,

since i'm not in or from UK i couldn't send it to the MP there, but I am sending one to my MP in Singapore. One out of two aquariums selling ornamental fish in Singapore sells these cruelly dyed creatures, which obviously puts a big sign in front of their shop saying 'Hey! Come and the inexperienced shopkeeper!Don't mind the fish, look at ME!'

Hoping people would put an end to this 'hooliganlistic' practice and admire fish as what they are in real life.

this is brilliant work and i will be helping towards your campaign by sending the letter to my local mp. As a newbie, this practice of dying was unknown to myself till now so thanks for bringing it to my attention as i totally disagree with it.

Yeah me too! Nicely written letter, keep up the good work!

Needless to say i will be copying and emailing this to my MP as well.

Hi,

I've just copied & pasted it & have e-mailed it to a large amount of the ministers in the Irish government as this practice needs to stamped out in as many countries as possible, as quickly as possible.

I will post this advice on my website in the next few days, www.aquascene.biz and hopefully it will help to spread the word a bit.

I just wanted to say don't despair, you may not have much success with MP's (dont think much of them myself, tried with other matters) but I am new here, Not even got water in my tank yet! but until I read your posts I was not aware of this practice. So you see the most effective method of stopping this is to tell people about it. So well done. I will be making sure all my friends and family know about this, I'm sure they dont already. What a cruel stupid horrible way to destroy natural beauty.

Is there a website about it that we could publisise?

For all those who are still reading the beginning of this post and sending the letter, but haven't bothered reading all the rest of this thread, perhaps I should update you.

The letter you are sending is asking for the import of dyed fish into the UK to be banned in the forthcoming Animal Welfare Bill, unfortunately, this bill was passed last year and dyed fish were not banned so sending the letter is of no use.

I have been told that the banning of importing of dyed fish cannot be implemented because it would be over ruled by the EU as they are not banned in europe and it would be a restriction of trade.

I think the next logical step is for a letter to be sent to MEP's to get them banned in Europe If anyone else fancies drafting a letter to MEP's for us all to use, that would be a great idea. There are many members on here with considerably better vocabulary, grammar and debating skills than myself, who could produce a much better letter than my previous attempt. *cough* Andywg *cough*

Hiya

Weldone Arfie. I was appauled to read the link to Practical Fish Keeping. I had heard of this practise, but thought it was not so wide spread in the UK. I have sent my MP (Sir John Butterfill) a copy of you letter as you put it in such a good manner. (Hope you don't mind). Lets hope this works as it is such a barbaric practice. Perhaps some should strip these people of thier protective coating and dip them in a dye then into a skin irratating solution. Maybe this could be used as thier punishment.
