Sam, I think the only reason that the SPCA came down on you guys was because every university has some kind of animal care committee that they have to answer to for any experimentation that goes on there. The ACC has the power to shut down all experimental funding to the university if they get any word of animal cruelty and that includes fish. As an aquatics technician at UVic I have to regularly enforce ACC guidelines that pertain to fish health and what’s considered cruelty. So in some sectors fish welfare is considered. But I agree; I highly doubt that the SPCA would do any thing or care.
But to stir up the pot a bit all of us are guilty to a certain extent. I’m sure the fish that any of us own would rather be in the ocean, than in a glass box, IMHO.
