anyone seen this crap?

That's just idiotic! Poor Arowana!

Poor fish, is all that I can say! The person who filmed this should be banned from keeping fish altogether. What a Shame!

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.
How does a demand on an animal deciede how it should be treated, I have 2 pure bred Boxers and 1 mungrel, is it more acceptable to hit the mungrel with a stick cause its not in high demand, NO!


First of all, ive never seen a foot long comet being sold as a feeder. they are sold at 1-3 inches because they are eaten fast and easily killed (by the predator). And ,yes, it would be equally wrong for this guy put in a foot long comet. AGAIN, THIS VIDEO IS ABOUT KILLING, NOT EATING!!! You are right about the aro not fighting back. When I said "the video stopped when the aro stopped fighting", I wasnt talking about fighting the P's. I was talking about fighting death (I.E. trying to excape). And about the demand...IT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE TO ABUSE ANY ANIMAL!!! No, you shouldnt hit your mungrel with a stick All I am saying is that aros are prized by the fishkeeper community. That is why this video ticked off so many people. Comets (feeders) are sold at the size and price that they are because some fish need to eat live food. They(comets) are sold at the point in their lives where they can serve their purpose with minimal suffering.

One more thing. This video is seen by the Aro keepers as a middle finger in the face. It is seen by the P keepers as a prime example of why it is getting harder and harder to keep their pets legally. So, who are you trying to defend?

I was not implying that they are yet an endangered species. I just know that they arent, by any means, "a dime a dozen"

that video was horrible. the dumb S.O.B. That taped it should be put on trial for animal cruelty. a feeder fish is small and dead before it knows what hit it, a 14 inch aro, that is a beautiful amazing fish being tortured. is just plain bulls...its a load. makes me just wanna.... ....i am now at a loss for words. sorry to rant. but....

I would like to see him throw a full grown aro in that tank and see what happens to the pirahna's

It would be nice if a mod locked this thread. It's getting out of hand.
