But see the minnow isn't a pet. Because he didn't purchase, feed, house, care for or use baby talk when he talked to it, so it has no value. Can't you see the line there? It's the one branded with the word convenienceOh I see I missed the part where as long as it's a feeder fish, it's OK to flush as long as it's accompanied by a "Hell Yeah". These fish are destine to die anyways so who care's if they suffer?
