Since when was the crab a rare fish?

[Confuscious]

People miss the point here it's not the fish it's the idea that the protesters can cut power to a government agency. They are breaking laws and the only word that comes to mind is THUGS.

The biggest thug of them all speaking:

[Baerboxer]

"If the situation continues, Mr. Nitwat warned, all the fish would eventually die, which would be a great loss for the nation′s scientific pursuit......." Do they have much of a scientific community here?

Yes - they do.

[Dumu Ali]

"If the situation continues, Mr. Nitwat warned, all the fish would eventually die, which would be a great loss for the nation′s scientific pursuit......." Do they have much of a scientific community here?

Yes - they do.

If they did have such a community then WHY is that community not doing something proactive to save the fish from their ultimate sad, demoralizing and depressing fish armageddon???

Scientists!!

[philliphn]

I guess cutting power lines and shutting off the water is not breaking any laws?

It is a lot better than burning down shopping centers!

[binjalin]

they should save the fish... fins are not what they were

but SERIOUSLY the fascists are cutting power to this place? for what? thugs - arrest or shoot them

Call in the Navy Seals. On 2nd thoughts, better not.

Non performing seals might leak ?

There has never been a more suitable assignment for the

Where are the police, what the hell are they doing. Once again some want to call this a peaceful protest. They should be a shame of themselves.

Well, if the man has any brains he should invest in a small generator, dont u think? u can get one for about 20,000 or a good second hand one for about 12,000. if his fish are that important to the future of Science. As for the police, they are in a hell of a lot of trouble at the moment.

Your talking about the entire thai fisheries dept stocks.. Not some little tank needing a few amps..

They have a generator.. Its currently running flat out doing its job as a backup system.. The overall design is for emergency short term outages, not days becoming weeks without power.

Get the police in there.. Clear the law breakers.. Restore power if only to the essential systems. Stop letting a few 1000 people cause such damage and destruction

Should they be battered

My mom always said you can't get angry at a retard.

I will try and take her advice and not say anything about this.

[jackrich]

Destroying the country's reputation and stock markets is not enough.

They now also have to destroy Thailand's heritage and nature by killing endangered species.

Well done Suthep. You must be so proud.

[Jim walker]

Time to send in the Top secret armed Cambodian SAS that will sort out the Suthep Knob mob.

[diehard60]

Suthep and his thugs will KILL anything to get what HE wants. Thailand will nto be a democracy untill people like suthep are stopped. He is leading Thailnad back to the dark ages and to a dictatorship.

You misheard. She said "as" not "at".

DOH! they are display cases for rare species, not million litre holding tanks for the live fish trade. This is an office building, the fish markets are on the other side of town.

Since when was the crab a rare fish?

Since we humans discovered how tasty they can be ?

[Crushdepth]

<deleted>! Can't they think of anything more substantial to blame on the protesters? It took exactly 6 posts for somebody with a modicum of intelligence to suggest a workable solution to this monumental problem. If that's too difficult, how about a tank of compressed air, or even a bloody push-bike pump.

Or just move the fish off-site to another facility where there is electricity and compressors. Having worked in aquaculture in Thailand and knowing the workings of the Fishery Dept relatively well, they have heaps of funds, equipment and resources, and it would not be hard to save the fish, if they wanted to. This is just propaganda, pure and simple, and the "rare fish" will be made collateral damage in this increasingly bizarre, complex and hostile conflict.

They don't have heaps of funds, especially not for unforeseen activities like this. Some of the fish are very large (giant barbs, Chao Phraya catfish, arapayma etc) and not the kind of thing you can just toss into a plastic bag. Moving the whole aquarium stock safely would probably take a few *days*, assuming you could find somewhere appropriate to put it all.
