Thanks for the free publicity!

Dear Ken Kull, the Seahorse Hunter:

I hope you don't mind the title change. It better fits what you do. It kind of has that Walker, Texas Ranger ring to it. Don't you think? Well, at least Walker fought crime. You just take advantage of the weak... but more on that later.

You have a blog. That's so cute! We here at the National Seahorse Seashell Awareness Campaign would like to thank you for your free publicity on your blog. I would have just responded directly on your blog, but, sorry to say, your blog doesn't get as much attention from google searches as ours does. But regardless of your blog's popularity, we thank you for putting our name out there for more to see what we do here at NSSAC.

Mr. Hunter, we are not jerks. We just want people to be aware (see title at top of page) of seahorses and the unnatural dangers they face, namely you. If you notice, our blog entries refer to articles about your seahorse tyranny. Secondly, please do not make fun of our name. Seahorses and seashells are near and dear to our hearts, and we want others to know the joy of these things. On the other hand, your name is not appropriate, for obvious reasons.

Now that I have your attention, and your are undoubtedly reading this – probably reading silently and moving your lips. (It's ok, we all do it.) I have some questions. Your profile says that you “...take [fish] from there life (Actually, it's 'their', but you're frustrated. So we'll let it slide.) in the cruel ocean so that you and your friends can adimre (It's 'admire'...) there ('their') beatufil ('beautiful'. Come on, dude. It's like shooting seahorses in a barrel. Am I right?) colors.” OK, so besides the atrocious spelling errors, I don't understand that statement. You take seahorses from their natural habitat and put them in small cages. Your reasons for doing this are completely absurd. I'm sure the seahorses prefer the temperature of their water to be cold... I think that's why they live there... Also, I think they would prefer the lurking natural predators to a small cell. Would you prefer your natural habitat to, say, solitary confinement? If your livelihood is poaching our kind friends, maybe you should consider joining the mob. They love to kidnap. Although, the mob has the balls to kidnap humans, which may be out of your league.

Facts:

• We like the seahorses and show it by appreciating them from a distance, not affecting their world.
• You like seahorses and show it by hunting them down.
  

But that doesn't make sense. Let's think about that for a minute:

1. Seahorse populations are in decline, possibly on the verge of endangerment.
2. Seahorses are monogamous during mating season.
3. If one of the seahorse mates is gone he/she doesn't mate.
4. You kidnap seahorses from their natural habitat.
5. Therefore, you contribute to the loss of seahorses.
   

Facts (corrected)

• We like the seahorses and show it by appreciating them from a distance, not affecting their world.
• You hate seahorses and show it by hunting them down.
