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.
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.
Why stop child molesters when there are MURDERERS running around? Sounds legit. Oh wait no it doesn't.
Our attention as a society is limited. I do believe these (essentially) non-issues are taking time and energy away from more serious problems. I guess I can't prove it, and I certainly can't force people to turn their indignation towards the worst example of injustice around them.
Yes, our attention is limited, so you see nothing wrong in spending shitloads of money, time and energy on punishing a guy who ate a fish? You're not making any sense. At all.
That might be because you're trying very hard to misunderstand my point. I don't think the guy should be sent to jail, or even go to court. Chances are he won't either. At this point this event isn't newsworthy at all. It was a fluff piece by a terrible publication. Posters are saying that animal rights activists are overreacting. No shit. But so are you.
edit: Guess, I should tone it down. People have the right to be upset over whatever they want. Whether it's animal cruelty (imagined or real), restrictions on free speech (whether the content is worthwhile or by worthless by almost all standards) or even what people chose to or not to be upset about.

Overreacting to nothing at all as well, and then have the nerve to edit his post saying "you're just confused" and "this better" after not even making an edit. Well he's right, I am confused.

You completely turn your point 180 degrees, and expect me to believe this is because you weren't done editing? I call you out and not even reading the post of the person you quote and then basically call in idiot, and you simply say: "nuh-uh".

This sums it up. Cause it's so much more humane to have a hook in a fish's mouth and then bash its head in to kill it. This guy skipped the hook part and bit the fish's head off. So, cruelty my ass.

First off, I'm sorry I misunderstood you, but the number of quotes here is getting ridiculous, and I assure you it wasn't anything intentional about it. Secondly, posting on a forum is over reacting? We're not getting people indicted here...

I usually just read the thread sequentially, I get confused by nested quotes too. I edited my previous post, I think it reflects my position better now. Not sure if I have anything else to say on the subject.
I find it kind of funny that some people have nothing better to do than to accuse this guy of torturing a goldfish and sending him to jail, when there's probably way worse shit being done to animals all over the place that no one cares about, cause you know, burgers are pretty good.
tbh, putting a goldfish in such a small glass bowl with no proper filtration or aeration is really stressful for the fish. even the live fish kept in markets for consumption are kept in tanks with the proper conditions. just sayin'

If he does these things for exhibitionism rather than nourishment (which is, well, rather obvious), then I won't lose any sleep over whatever the verdict ends up being.
i think there is some overexageration in this. i go out and Fish and eat the Fish i catch. IM all for Animal rights and dont think animals should be treated cruely but there are other nations out there that eat Live Fish because they dont have access to Fire to cook it...lets put them in jail to -___-

who cares it's just a fish. Maybe you should go to jail for running over a animal and leaving it in the road suffering, you could atleast stop and go crush it's head in, then eat the meat to make sure you didn't kill it for no reason.
