Two men from Wiltshire have been banned from keeping fish after they admitted eating two live goldfish during a drunken Neknomination challenge.

Terry Gallop and Jason Williams were both banned from keeping fish for two years after the prank, which was filmed by Williams and carried out by Gallop who was celebrating his 29th birthday.

Gallop admitted one charge under section 9 of the Animal Welfare Act for not meeting the welfare needs of two guppy type fish. He was also fined £818 in total, which included his half of court costs and a statutory penalty.

Williams, aged 28, of Paxmans Road, Westbury, admitted one offence and was fined £988.

The RSPCA were alerted to the video by someone who had seen it after it had been posted online.
