Updates: While PETCO announced they will no longer sell Yellow Tangs at the Maui store, they refused to take other actions, like no sale of wild caught reef fish, so the protestors returned again on January 4 for a couple of hours, and announced yet another rally on Saturday1/14/12 at 11 AM in this same location along Dairy Rd. Apparently many young people are concerned, & were prohibited from attending midday on weekdays.
Dairy Road was lined with sign waving protestors at mid-day on Wednesday 12/28/11 to strongly advise the Maui branch of national chain PETCO pet stores that they did not approve of the sale of reef fish here. Watch media outlets for coverage and interviews of the three hour event involving about fifty residents, and two dogs.

Great coverage of a great event. Thanks to you, Mike, for organizing the media outreach. I’m only sorry these photos have no audio to capture the rousing support of passing motorists. BOYCOTT PETCO!
Mahalo. There is a on line video (with sound) by Maui media pro Wendy Osher at http://mauinow.com/videos/#playertop from Maui Now
