98% of all saltwater aquarium animals are wild caught.
Every year, millions of reef animals are collected on Hawaii's coral reefs and shipped to the mainland U.S., Europe and Asia for use in the aquarium hobby. Mortality rates are astronomical. Between capture and retail, up to 40 percent of Hawaii's Yellow Tangs will die before reaching the retail distributers http://www.forthefishes.org/For Animal Planet to air & promote such a disturbing trend in hobbyist collecting of rare aquatic life is just a travesty!!!!This can only be stopped by your participation in banning this inhumane activity.
