Hi all!!
Noticed this information on the Practical Fishkeeping website. Do you think It will make a difference if we printed out the PDF form and gave it to our local stores, would it make a difference?

Heres the information I found:

Have I found this information thats well out of date? If anyone thinks printing this out will help,(or not) let me know!

Most shops already have signed up, have a look on the Shop Finder bit on there. If they have signed up and do stock dyed fish, report them and PFK will take them off. If they haven't signed up, then reccomend they do.

Educating the public about dyed fish is more important then a pointless piece of paper. Most people don't know what dyed fish are and how it is done (yes thier is laser dyeing for the last time!!!). Educate, then re-enforce.

Ugh...

Ugh...

Why can't we educate and re-enforce as well? I know you think its pointless, but anythings worth a go By going down to our LFS with this information, we are educating people. We may be educating employee's at the LFS, who don't know what it is/how its done etc(I'm sure their are people who work in aquatic stores who don't! )
Who's to say that people who see the sign saying "we don't stock dyed fish", won't ask the fish shop what it means? There may be a few, and thats surely good isn't it, as they will be told by the LFS what it is, and word will spread.
If people had the same attitude as you danno, people wouldn't bother to ask their LFS not to stock dyed fish, and more Stores would still be stocking them now.
It has helped people who go into those aquatic stores (who don't sell dyed fish) as their not buying them, and the more people who don't buy them, the more likely it is that fish won't be dyed. Thats a long way off I'm sure, but every little helps!
Why the Ugh... Don't be so negative
