Thank you for sharing this, but it has truly sickened and angered me...I wish something could be done to stop this practice immediately! Grrrrrrrrrr.....

Bouncing off of your posts...



Whether this image is photo-shopped or real, it is just plain cruel. Just because a baby goldfish could live inside a water filler key chain, it does not mean they aren't suffering. Where's their oxygen supply!? Biological filtration!? Food!? Goldfish produce an immense amount of waste. I'd put a baby like that in at least a 10g, and when adult-sized, 20g bare minimum.

Animals are God's creatures too. They were put on this Earth with the intention of being treated with tender love, care, and respect.

People can be absolutely disgusting sometimes.

Sincerely,
