Girl, 8, spends 200 pounds to rescue goldfish from a fairground

[Catherine]

Quote:I am very unhappy that the stall holder demanded such a large amount of money. He will be walking away smiling, from a massive profit. The girl has a good heart and did well. But the trade in goldfish in plastic bags must be stopped to prevent such things happening again and again.

She did pay quite a bit of money. The stall holder will want to bring in even more goldfish. The petition to change the laws needs to succeed. That is the only way to stop this. It should be illegal everywhere to use any live animal as a prize. They should target the person who supplies the goldfish to the fair.  That is where this all begins. The supplier knows what is going to happen to the fish and yet he still sells them.
