Wildlife officials think someone dumped a handful of the pet fish into Teller Lake a few years ago. That handful has now multiplied to thousands." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member goldfishfanforever Posted April 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2015 Maybe we could do something about this like if the lake got drained to catch the goldfish we could help find ponds for them or something like that as this is just awful 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they are going to a good cause, you know? And they lived probably wonderful lives in the wild until now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member yafashelli Posted April 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2015 Yep. This is why I hate it when schools or fairs give them out as prizes. What do you think happens to the ones that live more than a few days? Out into a lake they go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admin koko Posted April 8, 2015 Admin Share Posted April 8, 2015 I had to laugh when they said that the LFS fishs can carry diseases, reason I laughed is that it sounded like only the LFS fish can carry diseases, and not the native ones.... As in Goldfish are dirty and gross creatures... Shame on these ppl... Shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member goldfishgirl82 Posted April 8, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted April 8, 2015 (edited) It's this sort of half researched, sensationalistic reporting that whips the uneducated public into a hysteria of banning before thinking. Thanks local news, doing your party as always... /sarcasm. Edited April 8, 2015 by goldfishgirl82 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
