I'm a vegan, and big on animal rights, but this is absurd and I would have nothing but words of critique and shame for the parties involved with this potential punishment. Absurdity.

No seriously thats why more people care about the fish than seeing people eat cockroaches on fear factor.

I am completely behind this. I find eating any animal when it's still alive, or the torture of animals for your own amusement completely disgusting. I don't consider myself particularly oversensitive but I hope this guy gets his just deserts.

Where do you draw the line when it comes to eating things alive? You're allowed to eat a goldfish alive but not a cat or a dog? They are considered pets and you couldn't say "it's just a goldfish, after all" and then say it's not OK to consume a dog when it's alive, because then I say to you, it's just a dog, after all.

I think he should get jail time and get fined for animal cruelty.

Oh fuck, I've eaten alot of fish alive in my whole life. I bet the whole population of Korea and/or Japan would go to jail for their sashimi and stuff like that.

In all seriousness, people should find better things to do instead of bullshit like this. He may be a sick bastard to do something like this and post them on youtube, but 20k fine or jail time? No way in hell.

And if nothing else, I'm pissed off that there's actually some jackass who gets off eating crap because he's not talented enough to do anything actually worth viewing. He's eating invertebrates and eyeballs for Christ's sake, you don't need to be an Olympic gold medalist to do that. Plus it's just plain idiotic; it's really no different than a guy who jumps off his roof or whatever then lays on the ground moaning in agony. There are videos of that crap too and they're not one bit more funny or clever in any way. Give me a goddamn break.

I regularly consume meat, and I said I found the torture of animals for your own amusement disgusting behavior. What happens in the food industry is something I can't do anything about, and I look down on the people who torture animals for their own amusement.

Funny, I've actually changed my mind about this. If it's okay to eat a live fish for no reason, why not a dog? How about a cat? Or better yet a newborn puppy, that would definitely fit in his mouth. Tell me what's wrong with that. What's so special about fish that it's okay to eat them on camera but not a household pet? Oh right, everyone's scared about the government and laws. But suppose someone went to a country where eating a puppy live would be legal and filmed it. There's no way you're not a hypocrite if you'd be against someone chowing down on a dog but not a fish. Come on, they're just both animals right? Don't be a wussy, there's nothing to be worried about here, right?
