Nowhere Bama did i state that a predatory fish could not EVER have feeder fish, it is a fact that using them though as a SOLE part of a fishes diet is not good for them. I used to own oscars, also fed them on occassion feeder fish, i used to stun the feeder so that it death was not unecessarily cruel. The main staple of a fishes diet should be a good pellet or frozen food, these food are designed to meet the requirements of the fishes diet.




I never said EVERY person that has been given an animal regarded it as disposable. As far as more humane, I have a dog right now that two other pixies have seen is in bad enough shape to affect his quality of life and yet the "humane" vets REFUSE to euthanize him. A retired working dog who has had at least one perhaps more strokes in his back, he cannot even navigate the three steps into the house, he cannot scratch any itch on his body he doesn't have the coordination. <rest cont. privately>

and please do tell me How did you stun your feeders? drop a live wire into their tank? ah how I enjoy electrocution...... wait that was the lil girl from Addams Family
you can't sedate them that is harmful to your predatory fish
put the feeders in a bag and shake vigorously so they pass out?

anyone ever pissed on an electric fence?

Then whoever the vets were that the dog was taken to, i personally would never go to again. My vet would have done it....I had to have my Scooby put down earlier this year due to quality of life issues.....if the dog in question had of been mine i would have kept looking for a vet with compassion, or a sharpshooting friend (sorry if that offends but its the truth)

Electrocution, Sedation, vigourous shaking? what the hell are you on about??? Jumping to conclusions much! I simply caught them in a net and flicked them in the head, it stuns them, and its quick.

welcome to this side of the pond lovie.

merely thumping your fish in the head can be considered animal cruelty here and with the right judge a felony. I was trying to figure out how you were stunning them, I'd be worried I'd gouge an eye or do more harm than good "thumping" them.

The rest of the vets I have never worked with and therefore would not allow me to put him down either. I had one dog that attacked my father, didn't draw blood, but attacked dad for walking into the kennel. The vets suggestion instead of putting a DOCUMENTED BITER down? Sell him as a guard dog, should be able to get good money for him since he's bitten someone. DVM told me to sell an aggressive dog, great I just want to get sued.

Vets are so busy kissing the ass of HSUS they've forgotten that some decisions are hard to make and you've got to consider that perhaps the owner of the animal MIGHT know what the fuck they're talking about.

We do things differently here, right or wrong it's different. I have seen the reaction of a dogs vitals when the Eutha-sol is administered, everything slows and stops, there is no pain there is no panic 9 times out of 10, I don't know how much pain there is involved in a gunshot, never been shot before. I would dread the thought of the dog turning his head at the wrong moment and not getting a clean one shot one kill. I have seen one dog fight the eutha-sol it was not pretty. white German Shepherd hit by a car, he didn't want to give up.


I'm done with this discussion.

Yeah good, i'll just sit on my hand and keep my mouth shut in regards to furthering this shit.
