Change rules on photos of ornamental fish/koi on public/private auction sites
Koi/carp are being sold photographed in a way that causes undue stress (being held) and poses a potential risk of cross contamination from KHV (photographed on mats/nets that may be contaminated) to other ponds.
It should be written into the selling rules that ornamental fish/koi/carp must be photographed in a bowl/tub with water to reduce their stress and risk of passing on disease.
The said bowl/tub should adhere to biosecurity and not have been used or in contact with other ponds/lakes/rivers without thorough decontamination.
KHV is a very destructive problems for koi/carp and koi keepers.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. There are currently no rules governing how fish are photographed, so the Government cannot change any rules. You could start a new petition asking the Government to introduce a law governing the photography of fish.
