I do not.
I believe we should be able to eat our pets, as well.
.
Insane!!!!
Can we now go to jail for a salmon dinner?
.
if you consider cows you raise or whatever, pets, before the slaughter, I agree too.
As for this fish thing...it’s absurd.
But anyone tries to harm my little cat buddy, they wont see tomorrow.
That’s a promise.
Salmon?!?!
Think about clams on the half-shell....they’re still alive!
This would be a typical story for Dr Phil.
...but kill the babies...that’s ok.
What’s next? Jail time for forgetting to water your plants when you go on vacation?
He could have just swallowed it.
Or, flushed, and given it a chance.
Personally, I can’t stand it when people don’t take care of their house plants.
Did he have a license for his fish?
Flashback to scout camp when some of the guys caught a coral snake and took it to the nature lodge. Those people put it in an aquarium next to a window and the afternoon sun baked it to death.
Why didn’t he take it to a pet shop and give it to them free?
“Personally, I cant stand it when people dont take care of their house plants.”
You’d really hate me.
Did he have a license for his fish?

Yes,but he made the fish pay for it. Cost him a fin.
Tired of your pet fish. FLUSH goes the toilet and all evidence goes down the drain. Case closed.
As an animal lover; I don’t want to see any creature abused or neglected but this is taking it too far.
I had tilapia for lunch. I guess I should feel guilty now.
They are kicking this guy hard while he’s down. He would have been better off feeding the Oscar to a local cat after cutting the head off.
The only counterpoint I have to the mostly justified ridicule of this action is that I personally believe that anyone who is deliberately cruel to an animal bears watching for signs of the sort of sociopathy that leads to harming humans.
It’s one thing to raise an animal for food, it’s something else to hurt one for pleasure, even if it is one’s ‘property’ I certainly would never hire, rent to or associate with someone who abused an animal.
Maybe you have to terminate its life, but the sort of person would cause unneeded pain is not the sort of person I care to see continue breathing. If you can’t take CARE of it, and can’t give it away, at least dispatch it mercifully.
I think the proper thing to do in response is take my kids fishing this weekend.
I dont take care of my plastic potted plants.
