Woman Convicted Of Selling Fish To Minor

A 66-year-old British woman is in big trouble for selling a goldfish to a 14-year-old. Joan Higgins, 66, owner of Majors Pet Shop in Sale, England, was fined $1,506, ordered to wear an ankle monitor and given a seven-week curfew as punishment for selling a goldfish to a 14-year-old boy sent into the store by police on a test buy. A 2006 law prohibits the sale of pets – including goldfish – to children under the age of 16. Higgins’ son, Mark, 47, was fined $1,300 and ordered to complete 120 hours of community service.
