because its just a fish
i wish the people would lose that way of thinking.

maybe there is a way people can write and voice their concerns to the
network of the show and perhaps send in caresheets on goldfish and such.

Sigh,

I was watching Seasame Street with my daughter this morning. Elmo takes
his pet goldfish "Dorthy" to the vet.

"Dorthy" is probably a 2.5" SL fish, being show in... oh... 1/2 - 2/3s
of a gallon of water in a bowl.

The vet pronounces "Dorthy" completely healthy and says that Elmo is
taking very good care of it.

[zoom in on fish]
"Dorthy" is hovering near the bottom, fins as tightly clenched as I've
ever seen. Even looks a bit de-colored.

That was one STRESSED fish.

Sigh.
