I don't think fining him that much is appropriate. People who cause deaths get fined less ffs. Youtube attention seeker, eh? Sounds legit. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

 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. | ||

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. | ||

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. | ||

'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. | ||
