iPond

There is some controversy brewing in Australia over this little product:

20071216-iPond-Rebecca-Hallas

It’s the iPond — a combination portable music player speaker and Siamese fighting fish aquarium. The issue is that some animal rights activists say that the container is far too small for the fish that it contains (meaning not enough oxygen or clean water) and that the sound may be too disturbing to the little being inside.

If you want to read the whole story, it’s here, where you can also see the full-sized photograph (and size comparison with an iPod source) by Rebecca Hallas.

This seems wholly unnecessary and horrific for the animal. A fish is not a jogging companion.
