Interesting point Johnno. Why visit Aquotix re shrimp right now?
A realistic action on their part to enforce their agenda would have been to visit South Perth last Tuesday night. That didn't happen; might have come across as a raid and been newsworthy. Newsworthy means publicity and light shining on them. Us hobbyists would have had the opportunity give our point of view.
No, they'd rather skulk and keep us wary. Shrimp for discussion at the PCS meeting prodded their pride. So now they're putting the frighteners on, hence "Cichlids are next...".
This absolutely burns me up, before the talk on Tuesday I actually did have a suspicion that someone would show up with something to say. Then I hear about Fridays fiasco and cannot help but to link the two events. As you said Labcat the former mentioned action would have seen them in a room with 30 relatively well informed and irate hobbyists leaving them on the back foot and with questions to answer. The latter suggested action had them making a very public scene and stretching some authoritative muscles without being held accountable by anyone.
If I may take this opportunity to apologise if it was my talk that brought all this down, I want to hope that it was sellers on Gumtree and on public forums cropping up that spiked their interest again but the talk and raid where just too closely timed in my mind.
As someone who loves these little guys more than most I feel like crap for possibly being the straw that broke the camels back. To quote Syd, "the definition of ignorance is 120 fisheries *officers*".
