Ban Goldfish Bowls! |

Category: Animal Welfare
Region: Canada
Target: Fish Supply Manufacturers
Background (Preamble):
Goldfish bowls are very unsuitable homes for goldfish. There is very little surface area so the fish are constantly near death from suffocation as the CO2 forms a thick layer at the top.
Goldfish also grow 6-14 inches long not counting their tail so their growth will be very stunted in a bowl causing internal damage and pain to the fish, shortening its life dramatically.
Goldfish are very messy fish and need a very clean environment which cannot be provided in a bowl, they usually do not even have space for a filter.
So please sign my petition to stop the usage of goldfish bowls!
