Using goldfish as funfair prizes should be banned

[Catherine]

Goldfish are living, feeling creatures. For many years they have been given out as funfair prizes. This needs to stop. They suffer stress in small plastic bags with little  oxygen. Many die before they even make it to their new homes. It may be legal, but it is definitely wrong.

I know people who won two goldfish at a funfair. On the way home they stopped at a pet store and bought everything the fish needed to survive.  The store even gave them water that was already treated and suitable for the fish. The fish were both dead by the next morning. They never stood a chance. They were destined to die the moment they were bagged up as funfair prizes. No living creatures should even be used as a prize.  The people giving the fish out don't care if they live or die. 
If they absolutely want a goldfish to be the prize, then give out a coupon for a free fish to be collected from healthy location at a later date.

Live fish as prizes has got to stop!
