I understand your point of view, and I think the issue is a politically double-sworded one. While I agree with you that one should do what he preaches, I also think that aquaria like the MBA or the LBAOP make the damage done by taking sea life from an already pressured area more than good by educating millions of people about the beauty of our local waters and about the importance to treat our oceans well to preserve all that life. OK, the displayed fish are kind of martyrs, but they certainly serve their free brothers and sisters well. My opinion.
