Why don't you just put the fish in a coffee mug with a lid when crossing a border? Who needs to know you have a goldfish?

Well Sharks (and Crocodiles) seem to be able to travel over borders so it would be discrimination to stop your goldfish......Ring up your local Fish Rights Authority. :-)

Hi Jules,
Listen, I have no answer to your question, but I have to say it made me laugh out loud, yes it really did.

And all you animal activists out there, I do apologize, but if I were Jules, I'd be thinking about a little *FLUSH* and a trip to Walmart's fishy section when I got to the US.

I'm sure you have a very special little fish, but um......unless he talks and is as cute as Nemo, send him down the john.

Good luck, and I hope you find the right answer..........

That is actually a very cruel thing to do to a fish. I wouldn't have much respect for anyone who did such a thing.
Anyway I'm sure fish swim down rivers that cross the border all the time!

Heba might have been referring to the frog prince smilie If Heba is wondering where it is, I have it...I stole all the froggies when you weren't looking!

Wow, who thought such a little question would garner so much interest - LOL. I think my fishy is going to be making a clandestine crossing or finding a nice new home (don't worry all you animal activists I would never flush a fishy whilst his gills were still flapping).

Sorry Mrs. London, I've got bigger fish to fry than to deal with a goldfish taking an international trip.

And I did apologize to all the animal activists out there before I even said it. Sorry if you don't respect me anymore...........*sigh*

and Jules, whatever you decide to do, good luck. I'm sure your fish is a part of the family, and perhaps I was just in a silly mood when I read your post.

I agree.

SecretGarden,

What kind of cold-blooded murderer are you?


I also think it is so cruel to slaughter all those cows just for losing their temper. I mean I get so angry sometimes I could just spit. Am I going to be slaughtered for losing my temper? We all get mad sometimes, but because they're poor defenseless cows we just go and kill them for it. My heart is bleeding.
