A Brisbane District Court judge has been awarded a "Compassionate judge award" for publicly denouncing a man who flushed two goldfish down the toilet during a burglary at a woman's home.
I do have to wonder, though, if the man's status as a "former meat worker" contributed to PETA's eagerness to denounce his violence toward goldfish. PETA probably already had it in for the guy.
