Sorry to start another thread on this - but it seems quite topical at the moment.
I thought some of you may be interested in an artical by Practical Fishkeeping magazine who have for a long time campaigned against this practice particulaly in the UK and hence doesn't seem to be the problem here that it is in other countries.
That said, due to increased interest in these fish I believe they are shortly to start campaigning again (maybe with a petition) - This organisation should carry some weight....
