Does the size of an animals brain decide whether it's OK or not OK for you to be cruel to it? Their memory being "extremely short" has been debunked and is just a myth, so that's irrelevant. What is the difference between a goldfish and a dog or a cat? They are both animals people keep as pets. You might not give a shit about goldfish, but I don't really give a shit about dogs or cats. I would never keep one as a pet, but I would never be cruel to one just for fun. | ||

He also sees it as a challenge and feels it as an achievement when he has succeeded in eating the stuff, no hes not mentally ill. if you watch his videos he seems like an awesome and funny person. Well I did edit a bit and suggested it could be attention seeking. I just find it a mental way of doing so :S | ||

All the meat products we eat involve killing, is killing a goldfish by chewing it any more or less humane than a cow getting butchered at the slaughterhouse? Cows get a shot to the head with one of those things the guy uses in No Country For Old Men before being butchered. Except for our islamic friends, who only eat meat if the animal bleeds to death.

So yes, this was cruel and unneccesary and the guy doing it is a complete fucking idiot. He shouldn't, however, get put into jail for it. Jails are only meant to seperate and rehabilitate people from the rest of society, something that doesn't need to be done for this guy. A fine on the other hand is completely acceptable, just to push the point home that this shit shouldn't be allowed to happen to any creature regardless of species. | ||

You missed the fact that I stated that I find torture or animal cruelty for your own amusement disgusting. I have nothing against the consumption of meat products, and I eat meat every day. Whatever happens in the food industry happens, and if a person goes to work in the food industry (whatever that may be) and thinks his job is fucking amazing because he gets to kill animals for a living, then I find that individual disgusting, not the collective "food industry" possey. | ||

I don't consider myself particularly oversensitive but I hope this guy gets his just deserts. 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. Are you a vegetarian? If not you should become one so you can try to maintain the moral highground. By purchasing the common meat you find in the supermarket you are supporting the acts that are involved in making that meat availalbe to you. Just because you are not directly committing the cruel acts that happen in slaughterhouse does not make you any better if you have a healthier/affordable/obtainable alternative to the meat. | ||

No, not all living creaturs are the same, we need to make distinctions. There is a difference between a goldfish and a dog, fish brains are small and don't have a neocortex. | ||

Some people keep ants as pets, should I go to jail for stepping on one? The whole "pet" idea is just downright retarded, some animals aren't worth more than other animals just because people collectively decide they are fun to have in the house. | ||
