Guppy Fishing is Cruel
I am writing to express my concern over the use of live guppies as amusement for children at Geylang Prawn Fishing Restaurant (Out With Racquets, In With Rods, Lifestyle, Nov 22).
Just as the use of dogs or cats for public entertainment with ropes or nets in a commercial setting would unlikely be welcomed by the public, I hope guppies would be given the same consideration.
There is no justification for the continued use of live animals for entertainment.
I hope the owners of Geylang Prawn Fishing Restaurant will exercise some social responsibility and stop the cruel practice.
