You certainly have my support. I imagine a lot of these "prizes" end up chucked in the nearest river, which can't be good for them, or the wildlife.

Thanks,both of you.At least in a river they would stand a chance,in a tiny bowl with no filtration and untreated water they will slowly suffer and die.
The RSPCA had a chance to get this banned when it revised the animal welfare bill but it got forgotten about. |

Would have signed but was too late, the petition failed. I hope nobody throws any in the rivers though, heaven forbid, they would bring havoc to our wildlife. |

I'd say most of the poor things die on the way home  |

I believe that the practise of giving goldfish as fairground prizes was finally outlawed throughout Scotland back in 2005 with the intoduction of The Animal Health and Welfare Bill, although several local authorities had forbidden it much earlier. |

A friend (in England) went to a wedding recently and they had goldfish in the glass flower vases, which the guests were then allowed to take home with them  |

All rather academic now as I too missed this petition
But!! I thought goldfish prizes at funfairs had been banned years ago???  Like way back in the late 80's or early 90's? I seem to remember talking about it at the time, and certainly I haven't seen any hanging up in bags at funfairs for many years....
