While i was crusing around the PETA website since i hate them so much i found the most ridiclious article aimed at kids. And the bottom part is the biggest load of crap considering that a goldfish's memory last for approximately 3 seconds...bored? No. PETA...oy

"Think that keeping fish in tanks is a good idea? Or that a goldfish would be a great companion for you? Come on, it’s not like a goldfish is going to hop out of the tank and snuggle with you at night like a cat or dog would. Maybe you think that they’re the perfect “prize” for summer fairs and carnivals? Think again! Fish don’t want to be cooped up in a tiny tank—they want to be free to swim the pond or great blue sea, as the case may be. And besides, animals are not prizes: They’re living beings who shouldn’t be given to someone just because he or she was able toss a ring around a bottle.

Just think how boring it would be if you were stuck swimming in circles all day, every day, for your entire life?! Snoresville! Fish deserve to be free to go wherever their little hearts desire. Haven’t you learned anything from Finding Nemo? Check out the latest issue of Grrr! to learn more about why fish shouldn’t be stuck in a tank."
