I am disgusted by people who would send this man to jail for THIS. I, sometimes, really don't want to live on this planet anymore.  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. | ||

Haha you narrow-minded fool... Why don't you read about it ? Or study fish yourself? Saying nonsense without any reasons or research yourself is weak I just did a study recently where i tested the intelligence of goldfish so not only have i read countless of studies of the subject but i also have personal experience of this.

For fucks sake people, I really don't understand people who care about what other people eat. It's none of your fucking business at all. I get the activists who want the treatment of animals to be upgraded - some of the shit is repulsive - but what this man has done is absolutely fine. Does he have to kill the fish, gut it, and put it on a frying pan first before eating for it to be OK? You can't see how torture is different from killing? Are you for real? He is causing unnecessary suffering and pain for the goldfish. If he wanted to eat the goldfish there are ways of killing goldfish that are relatively painless for them. | ||

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. There is so much fail in this... HOW THEY DARE TO HOUNT FOR THEYR OWN AMUSMENT JAIL THEM!! really man. there was no tortureing on that video. He did nothing over every sunday huner or casual fisherman do in theyr free time. People shuld grow up. | ||

(as they are thrown into boiling water while still alive) and is that ok because there is no way to get the same flavor ... | ||

I mention the torture and cruelty of animals for your own amusement to be disgusting an inhumane. If you kill an animal quickly and do not let it suffer, then that's alright. But if you let an animal die an agonizing death because you think that's fun, then you're a disgusting person. I think you have a good heart and your intentions are good. But I think you missed my point. We as humans do not need to eat meat. In fact it is probably more affordable to practice healthy eating while avoiding meat. However we support industries where cattle are slaughtered so that we can eat meat which is more enjoyable. The life of cattle from living conditions to their inevitable slaughter is cruel. It is probably even more cruel than a goldfish being eaten alive. I have an issue seing how you find the breeding of animals in cruel conditions and eventually slaughtering them isn't killing them for our amusement. There are alternatives that are healthier, but we rather eat meat because it is more "amusing". | ||

People eat because we need nourishment in order to survive. Killing of animals for food as long as you do it humanely is fine. You're trying to put words in my mouth by trying to manipulate the word "amusement". I would be hard pressed to find anyone who would say that the cruel conditions in quite a few cattle farms, or whatever you call them, are for our amusement the same way a circus is for our amusement. I don't think anyone who went and watched what happened in those places would find that in any way amusing. If they do, then that's a shame. | ||

There was one of those ducks or geese who got shot, and they didn't kill it while it was in the air. That one suffered. And they went out killing those geese for their own amusement. They did if because they thought it was funny. One of those guys even says so in the video. If you go out and hunt or fish where the primary reason behind it is to eat, and you to the best of your ability prevent the animal from suffering while you kill it is a thousand times more commendable than what those people did in the duck/geese hunt video. Absolutely fucking disgusting behavior and is in no way comparable to what the majority of people who hunt and fish for food do. | ||

if someone does something fucked up to their pets the law really shouldn't be involved in any major form (no jail time) | ||
