Metro, London, Tuesday 14 Oct
"Disney's latest animated blockbuster [Finding Nemo] features a fish who has a toilet fixation and believes that 'all drains lead to the ocean'. After seeing the film in the US, many children tried to 'free' their pet fish by flushing them down the toilet"
"... Every year millions of fish are taken from their natural habitat to supply aquaria around the world...Recent research that fish are considerably more intelligent than previously thought raises serious issues about keeping them confined in small bowls and tanks. Advocates for Animals believes that fish should be left to live in their natural habitats.
