Basically, he ate a fish. What's the difference between chewing it, and it being run through a factory? You are spot on! I'm ashamed to live in this country. | ||

You say it is ok to eat animals because we need nourishment. But we don't need to eat animals for nourishment. The fact that we do is to increase our pleasure. I find it hard to believe eating a goldfish alive for amusement is any worst than eating it because it tastes good. If we had to eat goldfish to survive then I could see the value of your argument, but we have alternatives to food but choose the more pleasurable one. Mz, "We kill animals in a way that leaves them feeling little pain, so we can eat them for nourishment" is not the same as "we swallow animals alive to let them boil in our stomach's acid." So putting words in his mouth is exactly what you are doing :p, by interpreting the first part in whichever way you want, and ignoring the second part. | ||

You have GOT to be kidding me. I'm a legal scholar and have been teaching/researching at the university for 3 years now - and this is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard | ||

But such over reaction is even dumber. So as long as we dont see all the cruelty in the food industry it's fine right? Even if documentaries are available etc. I mean, makes me think of the idiots that go on facebook and whine about animals dying around the world, when they wouldnt even look at a guy dying of hunger at the corner of their street... I guess homeless people arent as cute as pandas, so they deserve to die. Ban the guy youtube account and put warnings about that kind of videos to avoid a potential multiplication of it, done, but put the guy in prison? rofl | ||

Although I love all the insulting words thrown in at random, I'd like to believe we don't live the same way as we did when we lived in caves. You think our society is natural? Is it natural for humans to eat animals alive? Your graphic tale makes me slightly worry for you. I'm happy you have such a vivid imagination, but keep it to yourself perhaps? Even the unnatural is natural. | ||

Looooooooooooool. I seem to learn something ridiculous every day. I'd like to see them bring a bear to trial for eating a salmon or something. Wonder how long it takes to become desensitized to the retarded things people seem to want to stand up for. | ||

 . This is ridiculous though and he shouldn't have to pay any fine or go to jail. That said I still want him to be punished because I think it would be funny . | ||
