a LIVE fish.

So what's the difference between using a rock to bash a fish's head in or leaving it on the ground to suffocate before you eat it or using you teeth as he did (he didn't swallow it alive) to kill it? It's certainly more gruesome but it's not like one is more humane than the other and as far as I know it isn't illegal to catch fish and eat in however you feel like. Is it because it's a pet? Is it because he did it for entertainment? Neither of those reasons are directly tied into the actual eating alive part. If it's actually the way he killed it you think is illegal that would make a whole bunch of the worlds population criminals.

I guess it could be considered callous, killing the fish in that manner simply for shock entertainment value, but still, rising to the level of a crime seems a bit silly.

Causing an animal pain if you want to use it as a source of food is unavoidable, but, in theory, should be kept to a minimum.

Causing an animal pain for entertainment can and should not be acceptable. Period.


I'm freely quoting Kundera here, but I agree with the premise that you can judge a society by how it treats those who have the least power in it. Do you think a society which says that causing an animal pain to show it off on your youtube channel (which you even make money from) is completely fine is one you want to live in? Are you fully aware of what possible consequences such a statement can have?

I guess we should arrest larger fish for eating goldfish, just like this man has.


How can people be so stupid..

I had a snake that would only eat live fish. I fed the snake lots of goldfish. I guess that means I have dozens of counts of animal cruelty on my hands.

When I read stories like this and then see people in TL actually getting angry about it I always picture a crowd on south park yelling "RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE RABBLE!" It's just childish.

Kind of disgusting but to punish him with jailtime for it? Really? Should go see what goes on in Asian countries.

Something like (disgusting/gruesome story in spoiler):

I remember my Chinese friend (originally from China) said there was this delicacy thing where you had a live monkey, put his head through the middle of the table, used a chainsaw to cut his head open, and poured hot oil on its brain and ate it while it was screaming.

Just slap him on the wrist with a warning, maybe they just really want that 20k from him. Economy in disarray and whatnot.

This logic is beyond stupid.

That's like saying that it's okay to hunt an endangered species just because other animals do it.

Shouldn't we be arresting all the people who buy goldfish and let them die because of neglect? This is stupid. It's a fish.

I had salt & pepper catfish last night. :\

Hope the fuzz doesn't come for me too. This is a bit ridiculous. You have to put limits on this kind of stuff somewhere...

Do you remember the days when people were jailed for doing things which were actually illegal. Damn I miss those days.
What's that probe doing there? It's a scout. You mean one of those flying planes? No....

I think it's kind of disgusting that this guy would eat a goldfish for shock value in an attempt to get attention, but I guess I'm just a softie.

And for all the people going "fish get eaten all the time" just... please... you and I both know this guy wasn't eating the fish for its nutritional value, so don't make it like that. I love fish, I love sushi, I love to eat many animals... that doesn't mean I'm okay with someone eating a live gold fish just to go "hey everyone! pay attention to me, I'm doing something shocking!" It's immature and childish.

I guess no one has ever heard of sushi :[
People are seriously getting retarded, I can't imagine what kind of dumb twat would see that video and say to himself " he deserves jail time for that"
There are types of sushi that you eat the fish alive, nothing new here.

Type in 'UK fear factor' (or maybe you'd like to watch the US version) in google. Go watch the videos and see what people eat on that show for entertainment value. Now go tell the UK to arrest every person who participated in that show and organised it. Its absolutely immature and childish but people have been doing stupid shit for entertainment for thousands of years.

Just gonna say this now, I see a lot of people coming up with responses like "it's fine as long as people do it for survival and not for amusement, like in the meat industry" but let me tell you, this argument is completely stupid. Animals are not butchered and prepared in cruel conditions for our survival specifically. It is done for a profit.
As others have said, there are healthy alternatives out there which we could easily use for our survival, and not cause suffering (or at least not significant) to animals. The meat industry exists to make money from the sale of meat items, and do not have the idea "we are only doing this so that everyone has something they can eat, because without this, they wouldn't be able to".
I'm not a vegetarian, but I don't delude myself into thinking that what I do is any worse than what he does (he eats a goldfish live, I support an industry that provides mass suffering to animals).
Hell, what are we going to do next. What's your argument for not going to jail after hurting say, a ladybug? It's not smart enough? It doesn't feel pain? The first point brings up a scary thought where intelligence is the base for value, and I'm pretty sure that insects are not immune to pain. Sure, it can't bring us the morning paper or lick our hands, but that's a pretty poor argument.
