It's because it became a reflex for them...
When a phone ring... You always have the reflex to answer even if it's not your phone... same thing for them.

OK I am one of the beggest pet lovers and I think this goldfish thing is a crock of crap! Seriously! Not all fish bowls are a gallon, some are a lot more and others are less, so lets just ban them all. I think these people have a little to much time on their hands.

Are they going to form a rescue organization to save the goldfish that are bought at pet stores by the dozen to feed larger fish? Or better yet try and regulate the volume of water per aquarium fish?? (I bet they wouldnt approve of the trout slap either!)

Man would these people sh!t if they saw some of the laws in WI where they are trying to make it legal to shoot farrell cats!

Also, they did a Mythbusters on this as well.

Rome is hardly different than Paris; the wackjobs seem to gravitate towards the major metropolitan areas and for some reason manage to wrangle the rest of the population in with absurd legislation from time to time. The marked difference is that most of the time, the bulk of the absurdity in Rome stays in Rome, where the Parisians try to forcibly disseminate it to the rest of France.

Hell, if this was France we were talking about, there would be a massive protest for mental health rights for the abused Goldfish...

That's called classical conditioning. Might want to brush up on Pavlov's theories. I agree on the fact that a goldfish doesn't care either way but your logic is not a legit comparison.
