Goal Met!
I think that goldfish being sold at fairs is ridiculous. It is cruel and evil. They are left to lie in small plastic bags for hours on end, until some young person "wins" one, takes it home never to look at again. At least in a pet shop the shop keepers are more wary of who they sell the fish to. I bought one yesterday, when the fair came to my town. It was a rather large fish, the largest on the stall which I chose with reason, in a small bag with little water. I have put him in a big tank, and he seems very depressed and won't swim. (Yes I would have bought them all if I could)

I know people say fish are useless, dumb and have only a short memory, but I don't agree. All animals on this planet should be treated with an exceptional amount of respect, no matter what the size of them, the size of their brain. Help me now in stopping this atrocious treatement of the attractive animals, please.

I support this petition. It\'s just inhumane for living creatures to be sold as nothing more than a fun prize. Tons of them kept in those tanks at the fair, to be given away to just anyone, the majority probably dying, God only knows what people do with them afterward. The value of their live is no less valueable than our own, people should realize this.

I support this petition. I just got two of them at a carnival 5 days ago, and now both are gone. :( We got a big tank because we knew they needed a lot of room. I think it\'s horrible to have them as the \'prize\' in a game. THIS NEEDS TO STOP!

Goldfish are food, not trinkets to be worn by the bourgeoisie, given away by the cabbage smelling carnies!

I support this petition.I agree this is a cruel and evil practise they don't even give you the basic care info, such as "a single goldfish needs a 30 gallon tank and every further goldfish needs an extra 10 gallons. As for your fish it is probably suffering from shock so watch out for "white spot" a disease caused by shock.

I support this petition. It's wrong to even consider doing this to a live animal.

Goldfish are one of the best fish you can buy for a pet. I fully support proper goldfish care.
