It comes after more than a year of study and findings that aquarium fish are often mass bred under inhumane conditions or stripped from the wild.

From the wild? In over 50 years of fishing California waters, I have never caught a goldfish.

Eventually the Peoples Republic of San Francisco is going to ban something that someone there wants to have sex with. Then they’ll decide that government has gone too far.

First kittens, then puppies and hamsters and now goldfish?

Don't forget about the attempted ban on foreskin removal!

“Aquarium fish are often mass bred under inhumane conditions or stripped from the wild”.

It’s a darn shame such a geographically impressive city has been taken over and destroyed by such utter clowns.

aquarium fish are often mass bred under inhuman....

Maybe because they aren’t even remotely “human?”
Of course my tank denizens are typically of a higher intellectual order than the average liberal, so there could be a point here somewhere.

This is the nuttiest story I’ve read in a while.

Further proof that liberalism is truly, yes truly, a mental disease.

San Francisco, as well as most of California, is beautiful place being shamelessly wasted.

“Aquarium fish are often mass bred under inhumane conditions or stripped from the wild”

As someone in the trade I call bullsh*t. I have toured the breeders my company uses. There are also limits to the number that can be collected in the wild. Over collect and you put YOURSELF out of business because the fish are gone.

Guppies and gold fish have been tank bread for YEARS.

Now, if we can pass laws like this about fish, how about allowing liberals to breed?

Goldfish are bait, food for larger pet fish, etc.

‘Nuff said.

So what about all the restaurants and offices that have aquariums?

Why not be up front and just shut down all the pet stores and fire their employees, that is what their progressively banning pets will do.

They obviously do not need any jobs in the city, or tax receipts.

Who paid for a year long study of goldfish breeding? And, is that why taxes are being collected? Someone is being robbed, and I don’t think it could happen to a more deserving sample on the Left side of the Bell Curve.
