Thank you to everyone who made some noise about the unacceptibility of the iPond speaker/fish torture box.
The chain selling this piece of crap (Pets Paradise/Pet Goods Direct) is withdrawing the iPond from sale, effective immediately.
Further, the Pet Industry Association of Australia is calling for the iPond to be banned outright.
It's good to see common decency prevail. Unfortunately these hideous things are still being sold in the US and Canada. If you can spare the time, there is a petition here collecting international signiatories. I don't know if it'll do much (since it started as Australia-specific), but at the very least it's awareness-raising, and may inspire action to be taken wherever the iPond is sold.
Thank you.
