Why would you feed a kitten to a tsn when you can just go to your local pond and catch some bluegill's? I dont think that cats were ever ment to be tsn food. If you have a cat problem call the SPCA and get them to take care of it. They will put them down in a much more humane way than drowning in the mouth of a catfish. Over all I think this thread is extreamly stupid for even thinking that a kitten would be good fish food.

You do raise an interesting point there though liz. My large cichlids and catfish react to my presance, respond to my voice, have individually recognisable personalities and their behaviour seems closer to that of my dogs than of a feeder goldfish. Yet they're put in the same animal catagory as the feeder goldfish, not the dogs, and as such are not protected by the same laws when i'm sure most on here would argue that they should. Just my 10 pence worth.
We totally need to petition San Francisco Bay to expand their product line to include frozen kitten cubes...
i definitly agree that we lack protective laws for fish .... they are also live little creatures with feelings ... but unfortunatly it will be a long long time before it is considered since fish do not have enough avocates fighting for their rights... and they are on the bottom of the totem pole.. but MFK and all the knowledge we obtain here helps us educate people to look after the fish themselves.. the more we know the more we can do for fish..be it a larger home.. not buy it ... so retailers don't capture and sell it ...etc.. slow process but everyday it gets better.Satan's Goldfish;3527571; said:
hahaha.. may this thread live forever as an example of why you shouldn't post while drunk/stupid!
I see this controversy a lot and there is so many double standards in it. In example, I work at petsmart - they refuse to sell live mice as feeders for snakes, but they are perfectly willing to sell comets/rosies all day long for the purpose of feeding fish, snakes, etc. Who is to say that the fish have less feelings than a mouse? How can you make that moral judgement call?
Also, when the mollies/platys have babies in the store there is no set plan to do with them. They aren't on the stocklist so they can't sell them. So I offered to take them home, thinking they'd be a good source of feeders for my fish. The manager refused to give them to me, telling me that policy and procedure was that no pet could be sold for the purpose of feeding. So now why is a molly's or platy's life more valuable than a comet's?
People who draw moral lines are dumb. There is no ethical reason to not feed a live animal to another one. Why should a snake in the wild eat a live mouse but one in a cage should eat a dead one? Why should a fish in an aquarium eat pellets/market shrimp etc if he is a fish that eats primarily live fish in the wild?
I'm sorry, but people who think that they are living a higher standard by creating these fictitious moral boundaries are fooling themselves.

I'm suprised that no one has mentioned the damage a kitten could cause to a fish. They gots claws!
