This is exactly what delgado is saying, why does it matter if it is an Aro or a goldfish, what, just cause you guy like aros more. Does this mean Goldfish can't fell pain, don't they fell pain like an arowana does, doesn't it hurt them to get rippped apart slowly by a school of P's, I guess not, just cause aro's are "cooler". Goldfish also hold a high place in Asian culture along with the arowana, they are equally special in thier own ways.
This is way I quote you Red Devil, not to single you out but it proves a point. How does a fishes position on the foodchain deceide if it can be ripped to shreads or not, it doesn't. Also, if you are getting eaten, wether an Aro or a human, you are lower on the foodchain at that moment in time then what ever is eatting you. Arowanas aren't top either, I would imagine a school of P's in the wild would be on top of an aro, and everything is below us. We are the only spieces in the world capable of causing the extinction of an other.
To all those who have said P's suck due to this, although you may not like P's it is the human mentaility that sucks not the fish. For all those who have said its cruel to feed an aro to P's, (I know it was cruel and slow) have you every fed your aro live feeders. To all those who said that the guy should be punished in one extreme or another, I agree, and the punishment should be through the law.
ok, where do I start.DeLgAdO;817028; said:explain
you would want him to be fed pirahnas because they ate a fish you love.
but its ok to fed goldfish to p's because they come a dime a dozen (metaphore)?
do you not understand that there are goldfish fanatics that are just as passionate about goldfish as we are with silvers?
this does not justify it as "wrong" without affecting anothers view.

this wasnt just simple feeding.
What this person did is no better than dog fighting, cock fighting, or the running of the bulls. Try to think of it from the feeder's point of view. If you were a goldfish, being atacked by p's would be like being hit by a train. Fast and simple. If you were the aro, being atacked by p's would be like having your legs run over by a lawnmower. Slow and painful with the feeling of hopeless desperation.
Are you telling me if you put in a foot long comet the P's would have eaten it faster , the Aro didn't fight back it tried to escape. (Are Silver Arowanas endangered, by USA doesn't that mean you are legally not allowed to keep them as pets, ie like Asians Arowanas) The P's were young and only took off the aros fins, this would be no different if it were a goldfish.frnchjeep;818695; said:ok, where do I start.

3. comets arent in high demand in the hobby.
4. did you notice that the video ended just as the aro stopped fighting(sounds like a little more than just a feeding).
5. if his intention wasnt to videotape torture, he would have fed the p's goldfish. Actually, I personally think that he was expecting more of a fight out of the aro. Just another point to prove that this wasnt just simple feeding.

This thread is about personal feelings and disgust, how can you keep them out of it? I would consider Aros feeders if someone was breeding them and feeding them off to Oscars at a small size, just like people do with cons, is this a good thing, no, would/should this be different if it were a goldfish, NO.MistirE;818729; said:I agree with these parts of his statements.....goldfish are animals but are considered a feeder food by the standard or intelligence.....also feeder are usually in great number cause they DO get weeded out in the wild, however it still is a life.....and is in the eye of the beholder on weather it is right nor wrong. But also put into perspective about a cat and a mouse, some people love mice.......some hate them......is anyone right? Matters on culture, personal understandings, etc. Anyhow, in the end part of this statement......It's just how you view it...."the eye of the beholder"
Personally mine are mine, and will be fine with some and not others, just an ongoing disagreement.......the only way to really win is to keep your PERSONAL feeling quiet and to yourself............
