i have a question regarding other animals.
my bf runs a tropical fish store here in alaska. he usually orders his fish from florida. most of the time the fish arrive in seattle within hours of placing the order. its in seattle that the problems start.
even though the boxes are very clearly marked as "live tropical fish" , they very rarely get treated as live animals. by the time that we recieve the reinforced boxes at the final destination, they are in a not so good condition, to say the least.
but the big problem is that they repeatedly get bumped off flights! (even though we pay extra for priority cargo). at one point it got so bad that the fish got bumped NINE TIMES over four days. needless to say, by the time we recieved the fish, the casualty rate was over 80%.
what excatly happens to these little critters?
