NO FISH GULP: SPCA threats of legal action and a police visit helped persuade a Hamilton bar owner to drop plans to serve live goldfish shots at his bar this week. Customers instead got a free shot of alcohol on entry plus a chocolate fish, which, Agenda bar owner Logan Hughes said, would have tasted much better than the original species offered. Mr Hughes had told the Waikato Times that sculling live goldfish was not as cruel as people thought, and that the event, with 200 fish, would go ahead. “But within hours he had called off the stunt,” the Times said. The SPCA issued Mr Hughes with an enforcement notice, which ordered him not to sell the goldfish and not to put them into a drink. If he did, the SPCA would prosecute.
