Dear Council members,
I have been totally against the collecting of marine creatures for Aquarium sales from even before in
returning to Hawaii. Any form of taking of fish form their natural habitat is against nature and should be
against the law. People in the old days fished to feed their family, not sell them to aquariums for profit.
It's bad enough that our reefs are being destroyed by careless individuals but many of our beautiful
fishes are stolen from their homes, put into bags and shipped off to who know where. most do not
survive the trauma of the whole ordeal. those that do end up in private homes or offices just as pets or
ornaments. This whole practice should be banned. just because man has the ability to do something, it
does not make it right. What about the rights of the fishes? Aren't we all creations of God? Man kind
will end up paying the price of his cruelty. Maybe even sooner than later.
Sincerely,
Colleen Miyose - Wallis
