JazzyJeff Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Yup, true story... My Local Fruit & Vege shop is giving goldfish away with purchase's over $10! I was shocked to see that this is happening! Even more shocked to see people taking these fish away in snap-lock bags without a clue!!

BikBok Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I'm pretty sure that in NZ you are not allowed to give away animals in any sort of retail promotion. Hopefully that means fish too. I'm going to check the spca website on that. edit: couldn't find any info but I'm sure I've read it somewhere. It may have related to animals being given away as prizes .. but I have emailed SPCA for clarification. A vege shop is not a petshop so i'm sure they're not following the animal welfare codes!

Caryl Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I would be contacting the local SPCA to get them to check it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazzyJeff Posted July 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 I did contact the local SPCA 2 days ago, they said they would visit. Does anyone have a link to a good article on why you shouldn't keep goldfish in a bowl unfiltered? Think I might drop one into them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lmsmith Posted July 24, 2010 Report Share Posted July 24, 2010 Zip-loc bags? You get your fishy in its bag then what? Nestle it between the lettuce and watermelon in the car? Who would even take them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
