blue ringed octopus

[aarone]

The problem is that they are prettiest when they are the most likely to bite...so I can see some 'folks' at a party goin "make him light up!! Make him light up!!!" and whamo.
Ophiura you crack me up!
Polarpooch, i could call the investigative reporters from fox 4 down here. They like to do stuff like that. hmm a good idea. But he might sell all of his dangerous animals fast. Maybe i could Put in a false order for like 10 of them and not pick them up.

I doubt he'll sell off those fish fast. Besides, the market isn't huge for blue rings. Thank God.
If your Fox affiliate is into this kind of stuff, you have a shot here. Most reporters won't tip their hand if they are investigating bad behavior on the part of a business, especially if it involves public health and safety.
It can be a challenge to get someone in news to listen to you. Keep trying. Perhaps check out your Fox station's website to see if they have a "news tip" link. Your newspapers probably have something similar on their sites.
I tell you from experience as a former reporter, we always check our news tip line. You never know what could turn out to be a good story!
Your local FMs might like to hear about it, too. Pop your favorite morning show an email and see if they'll talk about it. Again, as a former morning show host (I've been in radio a long time), sometimes you are dying for something interesting to talk about--and like I said, EVERYONE cares about pets and public safety.
Heck Aarone, I might bring this one up on my show if I can find a way to make it local. It's outrageous to think about if this guy really is duping his customers on issues of life and death!
Good luck
