>Ok don't flame me for cruelty to Goldfish.
[clipped story of sacrificing living fish to amuse ferrets}
RESPONSE: Why shouldn't one be 'flamed' for such a horrible practice?
(and yes, that's a serious question asking for an explanation).
OPINION: It's one thing to buy 'food' for animals that need such a diet,
but to torture (and yes, I would consider fish dying from suffocation and
mauling torture) an animal just because it's cheap and 'expendable' is as
humane and letting a pack of dobermans loose in a room full of ferrets.
CONCLUSION: Please don't try this at home. Fish are animals who feel pain
and fear and CAN die traumatic deaths.
