Good news in California

[Synastic]

I didn't know this, but glofishes are banned in the state of California (that's one thing at least California is doing right lol.) I found this article while doing research.

GM fish supplier tries again in California
Yorktown Technologies, the distributor of the genetically modified GloFish, is asking California authorities to reconsider their ban on the sale of GM fish in the state.

The transgenic fish, which glow under blacklight thanks to a gene inserted from a coral, have gone on sale across the USA with little legislative restriction, but the state of California banned the fish citing ethical concerns.

Alan Blake, Chief Executive of Yorktown Technologies told the Mercury News: "We're going to give them an update and let them know what's going on, then it's up to them to decide. We're really just trying to keep a dialogue going with them."

Here's the link as well Article and other articles

Glow in the dark hamsters?

That's the closest my pets will ever get to glowing...

 

[The FISH made me do it!]

I was Just wondering....What do you have against glofish???

 

[Auratus]

Sorry no hamster but how about a glow-in-the-dark rabbit?

Oh ya... they look so natural. They are almost like a cherry barb right?

Thanks Auratus for posting that picture. I had one up, but I don't know what happend so I had to edit it.

Addressing: The FISH made me do it!. (I don't speak for everyone, but) It's not that we have anything against the fish itself. We are against the companies and people that produce those fish. They are not natural fishes. Those fish are beautiful without those genetically engineer colors and or injected dyes. How would people like it if they were genetically engineered or injected people with dye? It's painful for the fish and or it causes them great stress. So by buying those fishes you are telling the companies and people, it's okay to make them. That's why I am happy my state has a ban on them, and that's my 2 cents.

Well done Synastic, well done

Its bad enough that ppl mess around w/ these fish, but also most petstores don't educate the customers about how they get this way witch leads to more ppl buying them and more of the fish being altered....

I don't support these fish in any way at all. I think it's plain wrong.

However I did want to point something out: "How would people like it if they were genetically engineered or injected people with dye?" Know anybody with a tatoo?

Lol, j/k, I know people have a choice to get a tatoo, just thought it was funny.
