I'm going to recenter the conversation, because frankly it has gone off course.
The proposition I have is as follows
I think it may be a good idea to partially sedate live feeders, to reduce the amount of stress experienced when a fish is eaten
This is my basic proposition. Because sometimes people have to live feed, if they have wild caught fish (Keep in mind, for such things as conservation, they must wild catch fish), whenever we do something in fish keeping, we almost always try to ensure it does the least harm as possible (For example, we cull defective fry in order to prevent their further suffering). So, why not do that with live feeding, why not reduce the harm done?
This is the subject of discussion.
