Goldfish are easily stressed and very often, fish that are won as prizes suffer miserably from shock, oxygen starvation or die from changes in water temperature, and many will die before their new owners can even get them home. We think you'll agree that while candy floss comes in bags, pets shouldn't. These goldfish are often held in unsuitable plastic bags for long durations and taken to homes that aren't adequately prepared to meet their welfare needs. Unfortunately, we regularly receive calls relating to animals being given away as prizes, particularly goldfish - who are often prized off at fairgrounds across England and Wales. Can you help us make pets as prizes a thing of the past? While many of us would not accept a dog, cat or rabbit as the result of winning a game - receiving goldfish as prizes have become all too commonplace across England and Wales. Sadly, there's no fun at the fair for the animals given away as prizes. None of the fun at the fairįairs can evoke a sense of nostalgia for many, with fairground jingles, sugared doughnuts and arcade game prizes.
