Fish Are Not Prizes

With fair season approaching, many county fairs, carnivals, and festivals may be giving out live fish as prizes. This is a reminder that fish are living animals - not toys, decorations, or prizes.

If you see fish being given away as prizes, please report it through our Google Form.

Ways to Give

Check out our Ways to Give page which outlines the ways supporters can help advance our mission.

Whether through donations, volunteering, sharing our work, or other forms of support, every contribution helps us continue advocating for fish welfare.
