So I came across this video....

[Juxtaroberto]

I dont think cruel is the right word to use...that's just my opinion though.

Exactly. Like I said, it's distasteful, not cruel.

 

[solchitlins]

ok sorry I will
It just irks me that people think it's funny and cute.
Not on here but on the origional video page comments.

what a dumbass that stresses the fish out atleast

 

[Greenspot]

Its got to be bad for the fish, all the spinning and all, the guys are tools.

global warming and polar ice caps melting..that puffer (NOT endangered) getting big and getting a little stressed is the least of my concern...IMHO

 

[koop171]

That puffer is WAY stressed now. almost bet it died.

 

[CDickes1988]

The fact that the puffer bit the hell out of his finger at the beginning made it worth it.

guy's an idiot, but i don't think the puffer was harmed
pretty despicable thing to do anyway, i hope he gets maimed by a shark or pulls a steve irwin

So he deserves to die for being stupid, distasteful, and inconsiderate? Alot of you guys are far more cruel than this guy was for wishing death upon an idiot. I'm sure you have done something stupid in your life before...at least I have. It is also very distasteful, inconsiderate and even cruel to say "pulls a steve irwin."....IMHO

i didn't say that i'm not distasteful, because in fact i have a pretty distasteful and inconsiderate sense of humor
i also do/did a lot of wrong things in my life
BUT: there is a moral border that i do not cross, and that is before anything that involves torturing helpless beings
the steve irwin saying isn't cruel because he doesn't live anymore. he doesn't care if i make a distasteful joke at his expense...
the poor puffer does care if he gets poked and shaken around
it's just that far too many jerks are cruel to animals for fun, i can't stand seeing those idiots anymore and the world would be a better place if they would get eaten by sharks
