After reading the article I am amazed that the judge let her off so easy. She should have gotten 1 yr in jail and a 20,000 pound fine. Such dangerous criminals need to be locked up to protect us. How could she even thing of such an evil thing as selling a goldfish to a 14 year old boy. This lady was giving this boy some happiness - what a crime. I am glad that the police are using valuable resources to track and prosecute these dangerous criminals rather than harass the robbers and murders who are simply misguided people and just need a little understanding.

Oh the inhumanity, that pet shop owner should be so ashamed of his self. How could anyone be so irresponsible? That 14 year old boy could learn responsibilities, like taking care of another living being. I am so glad that those UK courts are so wise that they can see the harm in the behavior. I bet most people would have laughed at this, but not there.
Now I am going to feed my fish.
