Because the awful truth is that animals are being taken from the wild in their droves to stock aquarium tanks.
The vast majority of animals in aquariums will not breed in captivity. So in order for an aquarium to have a colourful display of tropical fish, animals are kidnapped from their wild homes, the delicate ecosystems they live in, and shipped across the world in awful conditions.
Many animals are shipped in plastic bags and can be trapped like this, sometimes for DAYS on end. On journeys that can travel over multiple countries by land, air and sea. To be delivered at the aquarium... if they survive the journey.
All to entertain customers at UK aquariums.
Will YOU make this investigation happen? Will YOU take action in a world first, to expose and put a stop to this barbaric trade?
