Is it wrong to put a Fish out of its misery2007-11-24 23:37:24

By flushing a fish down the toilet?

My fish had this dease for some time, his skin was being eaten up. It got so bad that his mouth sealed up, making it inpossible to eat. So I did the best that I knew to do, and flushed him down the toilet. Well I asked this question to people on here, and they were saying "How Cruel I was" How in-humane" 'how I should of found another way to do it" Like What? Any other way would made my lil fish suffer worse. I wasnt about to watch my fish starve to death, or decay in a slow agganizing death. People take their pets to be put down by Vets. "how do they know that doesnt hurt"? I simply flushed my fish, & now Im being thrown guilty fish killer!

Please, help me out with this. Be honest in your answers :-)

Answers:

You did the right thing, how do people think animals are killed so that they can eat them. You stopped the fish suffering dont feel guilty.

No, I hate seeing animals in pain so I just put them out of their misery

I don't think that you are a "fish killer". I don't think that you are really thinking about this..fish live in water, so it is not like you are drowning it by flushing it down the toilet! So it probably lived for a while! lol! Anyway..it's a fish, ask those people what they eat when they go out to Captain D's or any other fish places! lol!

i am am ashamed to say i have done the same

No, it was not wrong. There was nothing you could do about it. thank you for being so kind.

Its not a biggie but next time you may want to kill the fish quickly before flushing. By flushing you probably did make it die a slow death since you didn't kill it you simply moved it to an inhospitable environment. At the end of the day its still just a fish not unlike the millions killed every day in the quest to feed hungry humans. Move on with your life it was a sick fish..

Putting the fish out of its misery it fine but flushing it is one of the most inhumane ways to do it.
