A Queens pol is pushing new legislation to ban giving away live fish as novelty prizes at NYC-based fairs, carnivals and other festivals. Councilwoman Vickie Paladino’s bill especially targets the longtime carnival practice of awarding goldfish to winners of Ping-Pong toss and similar carnival games. The fish are typically handed out in small plastic bags.
