I'll be honest, when I saw it I thought it was a stupid thing to put on a pet forum. I thought to myself "why would someone even do that, what's their point". That picture was meant to incite and you got the reaction you were looking for. I knew when I saw it what issue it was going to cause. Did anyone see it and say "oh people are going to love that, that's a great photo to share?". Even if you weren't offended, I bet you knew others would be, right? I believe someone else needs a drink for thinking this wouldn't upset some people. Why would one purposefully try to do that? It is very normal for people to be upset as again this is a PET forum. PET.
I think it was for a quick laugh but I understand both sides. I don't think it was meant to get into a debate. It would be the same as showing Korean dishes on a dog forum, but its also good exposure to other cultures.
It IS a part of the hobby, otherwise this thread would have been deleted. There have been a lot more threads far worse than this one.As everyone knew it would....... What was the point otherwise?
Well Lionfish Lair, I would imagine you love or have a Lionfish? Don't get offended but these beautiful fish are being culled all over the Caribbean, as an aggressive exotic species that proliferates like crazy! There are even rally round-up contest here in Florida. I have eaten the ones I've taken off the reef and they really do taste good (like grouper). I'm not sensitive to these topics when there is a need, as long as conservative measures are observed.I'll be honest, when I saw it I thought it was a stupid thing to put on a pet forum.

So, what's the point JC? How is this broadening others' views? What views? I must be missing the view....
