San Francisco could ban goldfish as pets

Goldfish, puppies, kittens and hamsters could be banned as pets under a bill proposed by the San Francisco Animal Control and Welfare Commission.

The proposed ban is meant to discourage "impulse buys" of pets that sometimes end up at shelters. Goldfish, guppies and other tropical fish were added to the list because of the "inhumane suffering of fish" and the way the fish are harvested.
