There was a tv show in the UK where celebrities had to eat some live magots and insects and stuff in the jungle as part of a "bush tucker trial".They got applauded for doing it and that stuff got broadcast to millions of homes. this really isnt much worse :-/

According to the article, invertebrates are not illegal to eat. Apparently because it has a backbone you deserve to be punished.


Wow.. thats a weird law :S Way to go full retard again justice system

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.


Edit - Although I very much think that jail or a 20k punishment is WAY over the top. He's basically a Youtube attention seeker who does something a bit wacky... I don't think fining him that much is appropriate. People who cause deaths get fined less ffs.



Youtube attention seeker, eh? Sounds legit.

This is pure hypocrisy, complaining about eating a living goldfish but not about eating a living tarantula.
Besides, what about the tourists of their country who try certain japanese or chinese specialities?

I think it's hilarious that he tries to upset people on purpose then whines when it comes back to bite him (no pun intended).

I don't care about the goldfish but I don't care about him either. People get fucked over by the law all the time. I guess when we no longer have overzealous prosecutors or lazy cops actually destroying people's lives I'll start worrying about stupid trolls getting punished a little too harsh.

A little? We're talking jailtime for eating a fish here. There's a difference between thinking it's dumb that, for example, smoking weed is illegal and can get you fined, and thinking it's dumb that someone might seriously go to jail for eating a fish.

By that logic you shouldn't care if comedians or movie directors get jailed for upsetting people either. Now there's a brave new (old) world.

I dont see how its a big deal. If he chopped the goldfishes head off with a rusty cleaver it wouldnt have been illegal so why is just eating it live a crime? This is blowing animal rights out of proportion I think.

We better jail all those Koreans eating live octopus, then. (An animal that's arguably much smarter then a goldfish)

Not to mention the hypocrisy of a society that's all in support of line fishing - based on the (mistaken) belief that fish don't feel pain, no less.

First of all,we should make sure if he is actually Bear Grylls in disguise. That guy can eat anything and get away with it.



To be more serious, I don't see any problem with it. I would like it cooked before tho and probably many more than 1, perhaps 7-8 because you're not gonna be full with just one goldfish.

It's a fucking fish. A non-intelligent, swim in circles, fish. What a horrible way to start my morning, seriously pissed off now. Anyone in this thread who says he deserves any form of punishment, you better be a vegetarian.


Sorry but I have to alert people about this madness...This ''incident'' has made me feel like hiking into the woods and spending a good 10 years away from the retarded society we all live in.

Let's hope he gets out of this mess.

So what, people get life in prison for stealing candy (3 strikes FTW). It might not be right, but there are 1000 times worse things happening to better people, even in civilized countries.

Nature is cruel. The millions of animals out there that suffer unnoticed, why do people get so emotional over one goldfish?

Because they're cute.
No seriously thats why more people care about the fish than seeing people eat cockroaches on fear factor.


Which is nothing that should have any effect on the legal side of a matter.

Most of the people i know think calfs are cute (some even find cows cute) bute love eating steaks, meat, ...

The problem with our society is, that most people get oh so sensitive when they see something which disgusts them, but are apparently able to turn their brain off whenever they want to. So all the disgusting stuff does not happen in a way where people see it, and commonly it is agreed upon that this makes disgusting stuff disappear somehow...




It's generally legal to catch and eat fish, is it legal to catch and eat dogs and cats in most places? I'm actually not sure, but different species definitely can have different legal consequences for killing them.

Lets be objective and a bit scientific about the issue.
In my opinion there are at least 100 people that might have had the idea of eating a raw fish in a cruel and inhumane way just for the fun of it but watching that video it didn't seem much fun, did it? So I wouldn't look at that video and say "That guy killed a fish in a brutal way" but rather "That guy prevented a lot of people from actually doing this" - just like some TV shows where they put aluminum foil, CDs or other crap in the microwave - so that everyone could see it and dont try it themselves.
About the topic of punishment - did you actually watch the video - the guy was gonna throw up couple of times and looked quite miserable during the eating - I would call that enough punishment.

I wouldn't do it nor would i recommend anyone else to do this, however when one looks at commercial paultry farming, that looks pretty cruel, crustaceans are cooked alive at most restaurants and thats considered fine, but an individual seeking attention eating one live gold fish deserves this? Gold fish have experiance far worse treatment at the hands of incompetent owners who receive no punishment, The law should be consistant.

It offends me that people are offended over this.

'Animal cruelty' because it's alive? How do you think we kill fish before we eat them? We don't go around to every fucking fish and deliver a nice and clean coup de grace; We pick them up by the thousands and let them suffocate on the deck of a boat.

People are too quick to forget nature. Our ancestor's didn't have time for this squabble because they were too busy hunting and killing animals - it was a fight for their lives.
