Just to clarify, MollyM knows that I am not challenging the premise of her article, but it seems like everyone else reading this thread thinks that I am. (At least the PMs mean that people are reading your thread Molly).

I am NOT against captive bred seahorses, I am NOT for the collection of WC seahorses for the general hobbyist market, I am NOT under the impression that tank raised do not pose a thread to captive breeders.

However, I feel like if one side is going to be passing around misinformation, the biggest disservice we can do to our own side is to also pass around misinformation, because if a few points are wrong, people have a tendency to dismiss all points as being wrong. With that in mind, I am challenging the incorrect bits, the bits that generalize or only focus on the U.S., and the bits that are mostly opinion rather than fact; with the idea that they are weakening the effectiveness of the article.
