You know, I don't take it too serious. When I post and I'm just sitting here mellow it may come across as that. I started to post last night and went back and erased it because I took a step back and said " You know....I really don't care". Then I read what Redtail_Watcher posted when he was away from "caring" for his ray. So I guess I do care or I wouldn't post.

I enjoy reading about everyones fish and sharing ideas on the boards. It really doesn't bother me either that someone threw a mouse to their pirahna or sankehead or whatever. The thing that bugs me is that someone video taped it, which to me feeds the stereotype of the fish we keep to the general public. And then, people on the board post it as Sweet and Awesome and Cool, when it's not any of those.

Posting a video of a Bluegill slowly getting ripped apart in a tank or a mouse struggling on the surface with no means of escape until he gets ripped apart is not the "Best video ever." It caters to a 15 year mind set of how animals should be treated. It also propagates the behaviour for others to follow. I said before, we have all owned fish that can kill or maim mammals or fish larger than themselves.

I'm done. I would like to think there are others who share this view. My opinions are just that, and I appreciate the opportunity to express them.
 
I feel the same, pretty much.
This video and the bluegill video bother me.

I have to agree with you 100% its cool that you feed your fish other fish or mammals but keep it to yourself for your enjoyment...and no I did not watch this clip:(
 
i used to be a fan of feeding mice to my fish. my silver aro loves them. he could take down a full size adult mouse or any smaller rat even. i don't do it anymore tho, water conditions were horrible after feedings. i planned on doing it with my piranhas aswell but maybe ill try some ugly pinkies jus so there's no fuzz floating around.

nice vid tho. piranhas rock.
 
cool video a few years ago i had a butti that would eat mice not as big as that 1 but a fuzzy.
 
Those are some beautiful RBP and a very nice setup! I cant comment on the mouse as that doesnt bother me having snakes for years and having to feed mice,rats ect...also when keeping predatory fish it is no different watching other fish getting oblitorated. As for cruel.....????? you should go to a slaughterhouse and watch how the animals are dispatched for your hamburgers,steak ect....let me tell you its not a fast and painless process...but thats all fine because you dont see it. If it disturbs you so much and you think it cruel to see a mouse get ripped apart then dont watch it...but dont cry about it as you elicit the death and suffering of much more by being a predator yourself and having dinner everyday;)
 
Yeah true but like me and a few others we did not watch it it was more commenting on how they say this is the best video or an awsome video of a fish being eaten alive!... I dont know for some its a touchy subject for others not so... we were all desensitzed to certain things at one point in time seeing something being killed as opppsed to not seeing it are completely different in my eyes
