Being punished for being at the top of the food chain is pretty ridiculous. These animal cruelty people have gone too far. If you can be punished you're not really at the top of the food chain LOL. | ||

Well as said 2 pages ago, this kid needs to get 36x the sentence to be fair. | ||

He posted a video titled "I eat my pet goldfish" and someone who cares about animals either didn't realize that it wasn't his pet or didn't care, so he got reported for animal cruelty. He'll be investigated and nothing will come of it. It would be absurd to punish someone for eating a live animal and labelling it cruelty. Better stop boiling/cooking alive, suffocating, or cutting the throats of all the animals we eat every day. | ||

But even if they were all killed with like a knife or something, isn't that pretty much the same as teeth biting through them and killing them? If seconds before he had cut the fish's head off, would it have been okay then? It sounds gross to me, but I'm having trouble putting my finger on a moral issue here. It seems like we kill endless amounts of fish daily in much for painful ways, why pick out this one instance? | ||

That being said, don't think this justifies jail or a fine, there's no precedence/hyprocrisy/etc. | ||

That made me cringe a little, the fact that they would be swimming around in your stomach for a little while before dying of the acid... you know thousands of years ago I'm pretty sure we ate way worse things, and I'm pretty sure people in our lifetime have resorted to cannibalism in other countries. Why don't they freak out over that? | ||

Plus he kills it in the most humane possible way for a fish that's about to be ingested. In fact, when I would go fishing with my dad for trout for dinner, we would kill them by putting our fingers in the gills and pulling the head back to break the spinal cord/neck. That method sounds more inhumane than what this guy did, even though my dad assured me that the fish didn't feel any pain. People who complain that this fish suffered make me lol, especially since even the most suffering-inducing methods of slaughter for the meat we eat everyday are less suffering inducing than the way predators in the wild capture and kill prey. Imagine being eaten by a lion, first you get mauled to the ground by an enormous animal with the strength of a bear, next the back of your neck is punctured and crushed by their dagger-like teeth and massive jaws, and you slowly suffocate while the other lions start tearing your stomach apart to get at your innards while you're still alive. Any method of killing animals now is definitely less gruesome than that. Also, I remember seeing a show where some guy was eating weird food in Japan for show and entertainment purposes, just like this guy. He was showing the way some Japanese people go drinking, where they cut open a live frog, pull out it's still-beating heart, and drop it into some spirit. What that frog experienced is probably a hundred times more painful than whatever that goldfish experienced. Yet I don't see that guy getting thrown in jail, despite the fact he broadcasted it to families nation-wide on television. In fact, he probably made lots of money because of it. | ||
