A goldfish left alone in an apartment has been taken into custody by the county administrative board after its owner was evicted and detained. The authority deems the fish abandoned and at risk. This is not the first time the animal has been left without supervision.
At the start of the year, a goldfish was left alone in an apartment when its owner was evicted by the Swedish Enforcement Authority and detained by police. The county administrative board then assessed the fish as abandoned and vulnerable, deciding to take it into immediate custody, according to reports from Mitti. The decision notes that this is not the first time the fish has been left without supervision.
The case highlights issues of animal welfare in situations involving owner troubles. The board acts to protect animals left in similar circumstances, but no further details on the fish's current status or the owner's situation are provided in the reports. The incident occurred in Sweden, but the exact location is not specified.
