Whats the best way to kill unwanted pet goldfish Stamp on head or flush down toilet2007-11-24 23:43:30Answers:

Do you mean the best way for you or the goldfish?

If you mean for you, then it would be to flush them down the toilet: drop in, pull flush, job done.

You don't really want goldfish guts all over your shoes do you?

But for the goldfish - neither is the best way.

The most humane way is to take a knife and slice through the spine of the fish, just above the gills. If done correctly, it should kill them instantly.

Please consider looking for homes for them first. The above method is usually used on diseased fish, not unwanted healthy ones.

EDIT: I have noticed that my answer has received two thumbs down.

I can't think why, because apart from answering your question - to stamp, or to flush - I have also given you the most humane way to kill a goldfish, from an expert's opinion.

Ask any expert on aquatic life and they will tell you the same thing: the most humane way to kill a goldfish is to slice it fast above the gills, through the spine.

I also advised you to re-home the fish before eliminating them, so really cannot understand the thumbs down.

Must be some sick people out there.

Dont kill them! ask your neighbours or friends to take them off your hands or talk to a local vet or pet shop

if their unwanted, you shouldnt have them in the first place
