Its not completely different, its just at a different point along the spectrum. Go outside the aquarium community and ask people such as Snorkel Bob about the aquaruim trade and you would get the same reaction. Taking a creature out of its natural enviroment where it can swim a hundred feet at a time and putting it into a small glass box. Could make the same arguement. Putting a creature into a small bag for a keychain disgusts me personally. It is important to remember there are those that say the same thing about out glass boxes.
