You guys...
A fish seems to me to be about as smart as a fly. People swat flies. The flies die. What's the big deal about these fish?
Plus, it's not like these are wild fish. They are born in captivity. Just like most goldfish, which, coincidentally, are used as live food for certain aquatic animals. Again, what's the big deal?
Plus, if they die, then they are probably ground up and turned into cow meal. Just like thousands upon thousands of wild fish are caught from the ocean to be filleted, ground up, and don't forget that fertilizer made from fish. Do you really think these caught fish actually have the nervous system and brain to comprehend pain upon a truly emotional and agonizing level when they are taken out of the water to suffocate slowly? Just as much as a fly does!
We grow CPs. Come on. This is like the worst hobby to debate fish cruelty! It's no big deal anyways. Our plants eat bugs! Our plants can eat rodents and fish and frogs! Our plants can be fertilized by fish that you may think "suffer"!
I'm not cruel, I'm just rational. If we put anti-fly-swatting laws into effect, what will that do? You'll have maggots everywhere and you'll regret ever having supported that law! Same with fish. Fish are natural prey. Some needles that happen to kill 50% of these fish are nothing compared to if we wanted to grind them up just because we can! Hmm...chancing the needle, or absolute undoubtable, horrible death. How do you think they would feel about that choice? Oh, wait...
