The reason I believe there is a difference between killing a Fish from the 
pet store versus on from a local creek ....I do agree that education is the 
key but befor that fish ever reaches the pet store in most cases thousands of 
his/her brothers were needlessly killed  by the collectors or 
shippers...While lets say that you catch a sunfish in youre local creek and 
knock him of...Well you have killed 1 Fish and a local fish at that one 
suited to your waters enviroment etc...Lets say you are a remorsfull soul and 
feel bad enough to educate yourself about the who's and whats of the fish you 
just killed, maybe you are particuarly industrious and decide to try and 
preserve the enviromet that the fish comes from ...Wooops the pet store is 
hardly the place to become ecologically involved but your local bodies of 
water ARE...You could make an impact down the road  but most likley not in 
Africa or Asia or the former home of your most recent victim.....So thats why 
you should stay home with your fishes and away with your vacations...
