PETA To G20 Officials–Use Modern Water Test In Lieu Of Goldfish
Written by Vegetarian Star on Friday, November 12th, 2010 in Animal Issues, Politicians.
PETA blasted the G20 Summit in Seoul, Korea for using live goldfish to test the purity of the water in the bathrooms.
Officials of the event to discuss the global financial system and world economy used the fish purity test as one of several security measures implemented for the conference which ended on November 12th.
Several studies have shown fish can feel pain like mammals. University of Edinburgh and University of Glasgow researchers, for example, found fish pain receptors were very similar to mammals. These and other facts were included in PETA’s letter to G20, along with the suggestion to use more sophisticated methods to test the water.
