Where's the source of this? I could not find any sites confirming SPCA banned it. As far as I've read it, they want it banned from the trade but I see no confirmation it was totally banned. As long as there is popular demand for that product, it is not going to be easy to have it recalled.
 
Saw it in a local news paper, unfortunatly my rats have spioled that papers so i can't re-read it to you!

From what I've heard, there is very little demand for this product, most people have heard of the bad rep it's getting and don't wish to face the social stigma of purchasing the torture tank. Also (according to the article) so far it's only been sold by one chain of pet stores in Sydney, for in excess of $75, so not only is it completely abbhorent but it's expensive too. Though I'd like to see it happen sooner, this iPond will probably be off the shelves in about a month even if the chain doesn't give in to public pressure to remove it.

That's good to know.:)
 
That really, really, really looks COOL!

But it is extremely abusive... I wouldn't buy it.
