Goldfish - The San Francisco Animal Control & Welfare Commission proposed a ban on selling goldfish to prevent their inhumane suffering.

He said that "most fish in aquariums are either mass bred under inhumane conditions or taken from the wild," leading to "devastation of tropical fish from places like Southeast Asia." As predicted by Supervisor Sean Elsbernd it was "an idea that will end up in the dustbin of history and go absolutely nowhere.”
