PETA is probably upset the the fish are only being paid scale.

you know its ashame because theres so much legit animal abuse that they could be stopping but they have their heads up their asses so much that they come up with shit like this. just like greenpeace. i think a lot of these orginizations start with a good concept then once they get money and publicity they lose what intelligence they had and go on stupid rants and missions. morons

I agree. Peta and Greenpeace have become so big that they have lost sight of their roots. They need to generate so much money to keep the machine rolling that they resort to stunts to keep their names in the news (peta more than greenpeace). TV show could replace the real fish with a LCD screen that looks like a bowl and have digital fish.

What do they expect the goldfish to live in? a toilet?

rjsincs

no prolly a lake so its free... to get eaten by bigger fish lol

Rounded bowls are bad for fish because the glass distorts everything they see and makes them sick (like if you had 20/20 vision but wore someone else's glasses). Also, chances are the bowl is too small, goldfish do not "grow the size of the tank and stop". A good size is 5+gallons for one, otherwise their growth will be stunted and they will die.

PETA are still a bunch of fucks.

fuck 'em they're fish; not even worth eating either, might as well get some entertainment out of them.

The argument about fishbowls has been around for ages.
Interesting though.
I thought people gave up the campaign against bowls.

Goldfish don't belong in fish bowls.


On that note, PETA still sucks.

I've never done the stuff, but I thought pot was placed in a bowl. My fish have been in square or rectangular tanks. PETA can kiss my hunting ass! BTW, if they want to put a naked girl in a cage outside my office, they're welcome!

An estimated 95 percent of saltwater fish sold in pet shops came from the wild, mostly from the waters around Indonesia, the Philippines, Fiji, and other Pacific islands. More than 20 million fish, 12 million corals, and 10 million other types of marine life—like anemones, shrimps, and mollusks—are captured every year to support a $300 million worldwide “hobby.”

Collectors douse the coral reefs with cyanide, which is ingested by the fish who live there, and as reported in Scientific American, “[t]he resulting asphyxiation stuns some fish and sends others into spasms, making them easy to grab by hand or net.” Half the affected fish die on the reef, and 40 percent of those who survive the initial poisoning die before they reach an aquarium. Cyanide also kills the coral reefs themselves, and marine biologists rank it as one of the biggest dangers in Southeast Asian waters.


Fish have cognitive abilities that equal and sometimes surpass those of non-human primates. They can recognize individuals, use tools, and maintain complex social relationships. Biologists wrote in Fish and Fisheries that fish are “steeped in social intelligence, pursuing Machiavellian strategies of manipulation, punishment and reconciliation, exhibiting stable cultural traditions, and co-operating to inspect predators and catch food.”

Fish communicate with one another through a range of low-frequency sounds—from buzzes and clicks to yelps and sobs. These sounds, which are audible to humans only with the use of special instruments, communicate emotional states such as alarm or delight and help with courtship. The pumps and filters necessary in many home aquariums can interfere with this communication. “[A]t the least, we’re disrupting their communication; at worst, we’re driving them bonkers,” says ichthyologist Phillip Lobel.
