Matt and vlad stop arguing your going to cause this thread to close. Just respect the other person's view and let it be. It would be a shame to make this controversial subject swept away.

Sounds good to me. Most of the people up in arms about this use or have used feeders, have fished, and have screwed up in an aquarium project at some point resulting in the death of fish. Maybe they too should go to court.

its based on a lab test meaning the test had notes she couldve used that
also doing it on 13 guppies she couldve used 2 but regardless how many guppies she used they would still suffer and eventually die
Perhaps its just me, but I don't quite understand the purpose of the experiment. The reporter wanted to prove that shampoo is toxic - fair enough, but, if you pour pretty much anything into your tank it will be toxic.
Plus, if its shampoo that you wash your hair with - what do fish have to do with it? If you drink a bottle of shampoo it'll be toxic for a human as well.
Again... I'm just a bit baffled by the point of this all.

There was no actual science involved, none whatever. Even if the ingredient was toxic, what killed the fish was probably the soap, not what the moron was attempting to prove toxic. Soap is a known toxin to fish.
Also, the methodology was flawed as Natural_Born_Killer pointed out, what can be applied topically, as the shampoo is supposed to be used, can be toxic if ingested. The fish had no ability but to ingest it.
This experiment was based on public ignorance of true scientific methodology, the deaths were strictly showbiz, strictly for ratings and shock value and therefore animal cruelty, nevermind that they were only guppies.

Do you guys think a local news reporter doing a 2 minute spot about dandruff shampoo is really that intelligent? Come on people, have you ever seen local news!?!
Who cares about what happened in court, just fire her and get some other college intern to do the job!

as for fishing.....if your any true fisherman who gives a damn, you bleed your fish out straight away, causing an extremely quick death. the fish is eaten for survival, as humans need to eat.
using fish for feeders....again, being used to sustain life. nothing wrong.
screwing up in an aquarium.....ACCIDENTAL deaths can not be held liable. if your trying your best, and just make a mistake, its not killing fish on purpose.
and for those who think its just a stupid fish, or animals lives have no meaning.....dont forget, they were here LONG before us, and will be here LONG after us.

No quick death there.humans will always kill animals, i do value the human life more then animal. but i do think the person should have gotten fined, as there was no real scientific value to a expierment of pouring soap in a fish tank. also even if fish dont have a traditional sense of pain, like other animals they are aware of whats happening, and have a sense of self preservation. it is cruel to stress a animal out to death for no constructive purpose.
im am in favor of very harsh penalties of people that kill pets for vengence, example a disgruntled ex employee that dumps bleach in the company fish tank.
edit: ppl that use live bait just dont know how to fly fish lol
