You're used to seeing goldfish in bowls - the cruelest way to kill any fish. GF are the most abused fish in N. America because they are often the first fish people want to keep because they are so "easy" to keep, and, unfortunately, so easy to flush when they die after a month or two

Except for super fancy GF, that can cost hundreds of dollars, GF are cheap as dirt and are most often treated that way. Only people who've taken the time to be informed about GF know of their longevity and adult size, and that's not very many people, ime.
