OMG this place is getting worse. The always has to be controversy somewhere. Her fish was sick, she flushed it down the loo, end of story. The fish is gone. None of you have fish for your dinner?????. do you no what happens to the hundreds of thousand of fish that are caught every day!!!!!!. How many whales and dolphins and sharks get killed in fishermen's nets!!!!!!
Jeez it was a goldfish get over it!!!!

I am not directing that post at anyone specificially, I think its really cute that you buried yours. Am just saying the way things can go in here. It has been happening a lot lately.
A light hearted thread has turned into something not really nice at all.
Sorry if I offended you.

Thanks Kel...

I do know that some people feel stronger about certain things, like Toby for example, than I do. I did know that some people wouldnt like this thread, but I really didnt expect that anyone would suggest that I get pleasure out of watching an animal suffer.

If Toby and I had a loving relationship that I would have with a family member, a friend...or a yorkie, then I certainly wouldnt have made this thread. A sick loved one would tear my heart out and I would do whatever I could to preserve its life and comfort. But Toby was a fish that I had no sentimental attachment to, and he had none to me.

Dishes...I really have to go wash dishes now.

EDITED: By the way, I once had a goldfish that jumped out of his tank and he died. I cried for 2 days.

No offence taken at all

I probably shouldn't share this....but as a kid...our goldfish died, we buried him...three days later me and my brother tried digging him back up...to see his little fish bones (like you saw on cartoons)...btw, we didn't find him.

I probably shouldnt share this either, considering that some people think I'm a monster

, but when I was 6 I buried a gerbil and dug it up a week or so later because I wanted to see the bones (like you saw on a cartoon of an animal either getting x-rayed or shocked!

I wasnt too pleased with what I found

Oh my stars!!! Lmao....I guess we were lucky fish decompose faster than gerbils.

Personally I liked Toby's obituary.

Btw, since I have read this thread and the PETA thread....peta guest columinist in the paper last week or so...says fish feel love, joy, pain, grief, and have the mental capacity of a 5 year old....which made me ponder if the fish in our tank here....are really smarter than my 3 year old neice.

I would have to argue that...I don't think they are smarter than your 3 year old neice. However I do believe that some of them may be smarter than my 16 year old son

I know you don't intend to be mean...but...suffering is suffering, no matter how small the creature.

i agree with all your posts you made here on this thread
