Please sign if you feel as I do that giving a live fish as  a prize is wrong !I feel it should be stopped it is stressful for the fish so much so most die within a couple of days of the winner taking them home. They are often unwanted and mistreated or abandoned  before they even leave the fair ground.a family member witness some boys hitting a bag with a Goldfish In, they had just won him on a hook a duck, she took him off the boys and he has a home, he was lucky so many are not .  the stallholders often sell very small tanks, these are not any use as a long term home, but how many people don't know and keep the fish in them for two long  resulting in ill heath and often death of the fish. Local authorities have the power to stop  stalls offering Goldfish as prizes, it has happened in Liverpool and also a town in Yorkshire. Maybe if we all sign we can change the situation for the poor fun fair fish, you can also join our group on facebook ,thank you for reading this

I thought this was illegal anyway - if it isn't, it should be. It's a woeful reflection of people's inhumanity toward animals that these little living things should be thrown around with no consideration for their needs or thought for their suffering.
