Freecycle Mods are stupid!

And they have just recruited new ones.Under the condition that they have to be able to use spelling and grammar correctly.Go figures that not even one of them can even READ.
The newest thing for today?They posted a poll weather or not to allow FISH to be posted,FISH and only FISH.No other animals.Told them its ALL or NO animals.Make up your FUCKING MINDS!Of course all I got was "please enter the poll".Which I did,but I wanted them to hear MY opinion ANYWAYS.Answer:"we'l see your personal opinion in the poll".HOW?My name is not even there.IDIOTS.For once I want to be published and they won't let me.Sniffffffffff

Why in the world only fish? That doesn't make any sense.

It's just fish because we stopped allowing animals for things like, they might get used in experiments or as feed in the case of mice or rats. We had a ton of animal activist's on our backs. But I really don't think fish are the same. I don't know of too many experiments on them and unless there a bunch of real tiny ones or someone has a piranha, it should not be a problem. Many people have to move and can't take their fish, so do they flush them down the toilet? Throw them in the trash. Probably.
I have seen many empty aquariums left at the trash at my apartment, I took one of them. But where were the fish?

Anyway that is why.

I am sorry to break the news,but you DO need experience for fish.Thinking that they are "easy" pets is just stupid.In fact,I have a 15 gallon tropical tank (just tetras) that lived for 5 years because I KNOW how to handle the water,the pump,the enviorment.Not even a Gold fish makes an easy fish.How many people know that they produce amonia that kills other fish including themselves?Or that you can't just replace the entire bowl of water every week,but just partial and that you HAVE to treat the water?Not many,because they just go get some fish,tossing them in a tank,thinking no education requiered.Now sorry but animal is animal,fish or dog,same education needed.You care,or you don't.But you don't get a pet without educating yourself PERIOD.
When it comes to the animal extremists...damn...SCREW THEM.They are stupid,uneducated assholes and nothing more.Just take PETA as an exaple.Whatever!

Yes, you do need experience. I have a 25 gallon tank myself. But, the idea is to give the fish a chance. Even the people at the fish store will tell you when you start a new aquarium you may lose a few while establishing the tank. So they will have to educate themselves. Isn't that how we all learn?

There is still no excuse to allow fish and other animals not.You need to be consistent in your ideas.If you need to get rid of your fish you can prevent harm by just bringing it to the fish store.PETCO takes fish all the time.I just recently brought a huge algae eater there because he grew out of control.No need to flush fish or post them on Freecycle and ecourage people to take a fish "just because we always wanted to have one".
Its yes or no to ALL animals.
