Sounds like the county sheriff was really out to get this guy. Wonder why?

I would eat cat or dog, if properly prepared.

I don’t drink. I just do not believe animals can have rights and that God gave us dominion over animals, insects, and plants.

I had to sell an Oscar back, he was a butt-head and attacked everything else in the tank.

I never went in for large aggressive cichlids over the many years I kept fish. I loved small tetras, small barbs, platies, guppies, Corydoras catfish, dwarf and other small gouramis, danios, marbled mollies, angels, dwarf cichlids (Rams), Otocinclus cats, dwarf pencilfish, harlequin rasboras, white clouds, goldfish, etc.

he should have flushed Oscar.

My old gold fish lived seven years in a fish bowl that I cleaned when he put on his tiny little headlamp.

7 freaking years!

How do you feed a gold fish to a cat after you cut the head
off the cat? :>)

Ok, let’s pit an Oscar vs. a gar of equal weight...

(If you ever tried to clean a gar of 3’ or greater length, you know what I mean!)

Gar give “tough fish” a whole new meaning.

Oh, jeez, I had to go back and read the post you responded to — then almost fell off my chair, laughing!

And we have had at least 1 pet cat for many years. (Most have been sweeties.)

I think that is half of it. Appreciation of the gift God gives us via the animals we have dominion over. The other half is quality. A good health animal without blemish (disease) was required. Let’s face it, if we had to make the food most people eat today they wouldn’t eat it. Crap food mostly. From crap sources.

I am not a looney! Why should I be tied with the epithet looney merely because I have a pet halibut? I’ve heard tell that Sir Gerald Nabardo has a pet prawn called Simon and you wouldn’t call him a looney; furthermore, Dawn Pailthorpe, the lady show-jumper, had a clam, called Stafford, after the late Chancellor, Allan Bullock has two pikes, both called Chris, and Marcel Proust had an haddock! So, if you’re calling the author of ‘A la recherche du temps perdu’ a looney, I shall have to ask you to step outside!

I am sure you are right but I was speaking from the standpoint of aquarium fish that are commonly owned (in the case of the Oscar, just once in most cases).

Well ladies and gentlemen, I don’t think any of our contestants this evening have succeeded in encapsulating the intricacies of Proust’s masterwork, so I’m going to award the first prize this evening to the girl with the biggest t*ts.
