HA i laugh becuase you guys say that is disgusting (no argument there) but then you guys probably went and had a hamburger at mcdonalds without thinking of how that cow had a bolt driven through it's head(which often dosen't kill them right away) while still alive and then was turned into your hamburger.


theres no doubt in my mind both scanrios are cruel and unnesicary but i quite frankly enjoy the taste of meat and fish too much to give either of them up (not that i would ever eat pleco)
 
At least kill them before mutilating them. This kind of snuff shouldn't be on this site.
 
Have you been to Fresh fish markets in US? The fish mongers just whack the fish in the head and then gut and scale them. Not that much different.

Consider some of you raise fish that eat other fish; I am surprised that people should find this disturbing :) Lions do not lay down with the lambs in RL

I don't understand why they cut the fins off first.

I'm guessing out of habit. Many catfish have venomous spines in their fins that sting, or the fin spines can cause puncture wounds. Relatively speaking, I think pleco spines are less hard than other catfish.
