- He did not eat the fish out of necessity.
- Lots of people eat things even when it's not necessary.
- He video taped it and posted it on YouTube.
And now we see why he may go to jail. I see why he should get a fine for like 150 bucks or something, just to keep people from doing stupid stuff like this... (lets admit it, it was pretty stupid) But jail is to overdoing it WAY too much....
If it's suddenly illegal to do stupid things then a lot of people should go to jail.
If we can aggree it's not illegal to simply do stupid things then I don't see any reason he should be punished at all.

Gold = valuable.

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.
You realize people cook crab and lobster alive right? I guess we should round up all the restaurant owners and chef's and arrest them.

wow this is stupid as shit

If it's OK to feed it live to an animal you own, it had better be OK to eat it live yourself.

Arrest Gollum guys. He ate a raw fish as well.

you want your tax dollars spent to put this guy in jail and support him in jail? no one said it was ok to eat fish and not dogs. i think u just wanted to rant a while.

Whats the difference between eating a live gold fish and going to a restaurant and ordering lobster? they put the live lobster in boiling hot water while its alive, if anything thats animal cruelty.

Yarp good point here, going to have to change this for him to go to jail for any of that shit that he does.

I actually understand the people complaining actually. Very admirable.
Their strong emotions are probably elicited due to a strong feeling of empathy and brotherhood towards the fish. Just as you and me are attached towards dogs due to shared values such as loyalty, commitment and compassion, these people feel a common bond with the victimized fish due to common traits such as a short term memory of 5 seconds and an IQ of seven.

I guess the problem is how he makes a spectacle out of eating strange animals. Not that I really care. Goldfish are pretty dumb anyways, they will even kill each other and eat their own babies if you once forget to feed them correctly. So I guess if you forget or are unable to feed your pets for some reason, you should go to jail too.
In that case and the pet suffers or dies because of it then yes they should be punished somehow by a fine and stuff since they have made they choice to have a pet and take care of it. If they can't feed it any longer they should give it to a shelter or find a better home for it.
However with the goldfish it's stupid. People feed their pet snakes, spiders, piranhas, turtles etc. live fish and bugs and mice even. In some cases it's because the animals won't eat dead food but not always and you don't and shouldn't get fined for that. This isn't too different.

Ridicule? Sure, he just strikes me as an attention whore. Jail? Hell no. It's a damned goldfish, animals get eaten alive in nature all the damn time. This just further solidifies my belief that most animal rights organizations are useless circlejerks.

It's a fish. You call out someone for animal cruelty when they do horrible shit to their own pet, typically larger animals like large snakes or dogs or cats.
This
is
a
fish!
THOUSANDS of people starve their fishes to death due to forgetfulness, a death, by the way, that is much more painful and slow than being eaten alive, and are not charged with animal cruelty. Also, this fish wasn't even his pet in the first damn place!
This is perhaps one of the most retarded legal shitfests I have ever seen. It would actually make more sense to charge the RSPCA with stupid in the first degree.

The guys who are squeamish at the idea of eating a live goldfish would REALLY get their panties in a bundle over reanimated octopus legs
Basically the utmost cruelty to kill something then make it seem like it's still moving... 
Btw, it's the sodium in the soy sauce/sauce in general that reanimated the tentacles. Pure htai stuff right there...

lmao...and killing animals isn't cruel?
It's not like he tortured the fish. Also, some animals are eaten alive.

while "getting eaten alive" is litterarily a synonym for a painful death I don't think getting a giant hook stuck in your throat, getting pulled out with all your weight on the tip of same hook then slammed against a rock while suffocating is better.
The problem is that he's putting that stuff on youtube. I can't say I'm behind the guy but jail would be too hard of a punishment.

Are they also going to jail Steve-O in Jackass for swallowing a live goldfish and puking it back up (still alive)?

I would assure you that Bear Grylls would not consume a goldfish when it's alive. He would kill it first. And he's not doing it for his own amusement, he is making an educational documentary series on survival. He doesn't eat a goldfish alive and then put it on youtube for shits'n'giggles.
Bear Grylls would never eat a goldfish anyway.
Hope this hasn't already been said and I missed it, but let me get this straight. You're fine with Bear Grylls eating things live (such as the episode where he does it with a much bigger fish than a gold fish) for the entertainment of thousands, but somebody that isn't famous does something along similar lines and he should be jailed. I fail to see your logic here fine sir.
