Argentina Court Rules That Fish Have Rights—and PETA Takes the Message to Times Square

An Argentine court recently ruled that two goldfish, Fede and Magui, are sentient beings with rights, not property. The fish were rescued from neglect at a sushi restaurant and are now living in a spacious aquarium under proper care. This landmark decision reflects the scientific understanding that fish are intelligent, social, and sensitive individuals who can feel pain, fear, and stress. PETA has erected a billboard in Times Square declaring “Argentina Court Rules Fish Have Rights! Don’t Eat ‘Em” to spread awareness about the ruling and advocate for compassion towards fish.

PETA Latino has been actively promoting animal rights in Argentina through various campaigns and partnerships with celebrities. By encouraging people to choose vegan meals over consuming fish, PETA hopes to spare countless individuals from unnecessary suffering. The message is clear: every animal, including fish, deserves respect and consideration for their lives.
