We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to Ban the practice of giving fish as prizes. More details
Submitted by K. Stewart – Deadline to sign up by: 18 May 2008 – Signatures: 721
The RSPCA disapprove of fish being given as prizes, an act that is still legal and often practiced at fairgrounds and other such events.
Fish are highly stressed in transparent bags. The stall owners provide no management or husbandry advice to the winners/new owners, and are commonly not knowledgeable enough to do so.
Fish may well be classed as lower vertebrates but high welfare should be maintained. Ban this practice.
