RE: Bubble Gear Fish Bag

Dear Editor:

There is nothing hip about Bubble Gear's carry-all bag with an acrylic 
container holding a live fish (Troy Reimink, "Here's a purse you can pack 
to the gills" - June 06, 2004.)

There is nothing sophisticated about causing a sentient animal to bounce 
about in a small bag in the heat and the cold and the lights and noise.

There is nothing chic about the message that living beings are commercial 
fashion accessories.

Trends come and go, but respecting the other animals with whom we share 
this earth is always in season. May your readers see beyond this company's 
latest profit ploy. May they perceive the true beauty in the decision to 
leave tropical fish in the tropical waters which belong to them.

Sincerely,


Kymberlie Adams Matthews
