this post seems to be missing the whole point as it has dragged on.
its a goldfish deliberately put into a sealed unit with 1 or 2 hours of air and sold as a keychain. its cruel. no ifs or buts, its simple and its cruel.
if we did this to another human or a fluffy and cuddly dog/cat then people would be screaming blue murder but its a slimey non-cuddly fish so, as some have decided and thats their opinion, its just not that cruel compared to the other atrocities in the world. fine maybe it isnt as bad but they are not on show here, another forum somewhere else will deal with them no doubt. a poor goldfish sealed in a bag by a society that seemingly has little to no respect for animal life is on show.
i think the whole point in the thread was not to debate how cruel it is compared to other things in the world or to assess someones mental health, but to show everyone who is a member here a shocking act of wilful animal cruelty.
