Sir, – So, according to the ISPCA swallowing live goldfish is a criminal offence (Home News, February 7th). The ISPCA has only touched the tip of this fishy tale. When is something going to be done on behalf of all the unfortunate (live) oysters that go down the hatch every year at the Galway Oyster Festival?
Incidentally, while I have always laboured under the misapprehension that a fish was a fish and not an animal, I also think that a fish re-education programme should be put in place with the aim of teaching fish not to eat each other – so uncivilised. – Yours, etc,
