[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What kind of messed up carnival gives out live fish as pets.

For the love of God, people, stop doing this shit.  Fish are not cheap easy starter pets.  They need big tanks, proper filters, proper water care.  You have to put significant effort in. Heck these fish might already be doomed from being kept in a bag for God knows how long so you might go through all that and they'll be dead anyway.[/quote]

Agree. These poor fish. They didn’t ask for a crappy life like this. I had a goldfish as a child and it lived for three years. I’d never let my kids have any today [/quote]

On the other hand, it seems like fish in the wild have a pretty crappy life, too.  Not only do they have to find their own food, which might not always be available, they have to worry about something bigger coming along to eat them.  Water pollution, global warming, etc., certainly hasn’t helped matters, either.  I don’t know whether fish get bored, but I’m pretty sure they get hungry.  Life as a pet (of a responsible owner) might be the least crappy alternative for a fish.[/quote]
