I understand it's easy to get emotional over inaccurate information, but come on. It doesn't give anyone the right to call them idiots. They are just writing out an old school ideology of fishkeeping, and they are likely regurgitating info found other places. In reality, it happens here all the time as well, except everyone is on a different crusading bandwagon.
It's easy to state your opinion when you know you have a group of like-minded individuals backing you, the only downside is that everyone ends up agreeing to the same things whether they be accurate or not, they agree based on common acceptance of their peers.
Fishkeeping may get a more serious look, but it'll probably be for economical reasons rather than animal rights. Fish aren't seen the same as other household pets, and they never will be, for good reason. One big point is that they are food, you can go into most household cupboards and find at least one canned fish product, try doing that with another household pet.
Fish-in cycling can be done safely, if done correctly. That site doesn't give even a remotely accurate way of doing it.
