Something’s Fishy
My classmate recently made a TikTok and she showed it to a group of people at lunchtime.
They were next to our table so I overheard the girl say, “Hey look at my TikTok I made, come check it out” and in it she explains how she “rescued” goldfish from the pet store and released them into the ocean so they can live free. I was horrified upon hearing this.
I love fish and have several aquariums so I’m fairly knowledgeable on them. I walk over and I ask her to show me the video. She asked me why and I said, “You realize you’re actually an idiot right? This is one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen.” Her friend says, “Well that’s just rude, why would you say that?”
To which I had to explain that goldfish are freshwater fish. They can’t survive the ocean because it’s saltwater, so all of those goldfish were goners in minutes.
Lastly, you never release animals into the wild. There are goldfish that are destroying our rivers and lakes because of idiots like her. I later get called into the principal’s office, where he told me I was expected to apologize. I said no, I stand by what I said.
Screw ignorant people who destroy the environment. My parents were called over and I got sent home. I might get suspended. Story credit: Reddit / Sensitive-Fun-99
