I bet a lot of people in here think for example, sweat factories and child slavery is wrong too, yet I bet they're not gonna stop buying things from the factories that actually use child slavery. Just because people think it's wrong, doesn't mean they have to change their whole lives to stop it, when in the long run, you not eatig fish or you not buying products from sweat factories isn't gonna do <img>.

Sweat factories? Explain, please. :p

I've given up on this topic. The posts are too long to keep my attention over an intensely amusing serving style of fish. Good day to y'all!
 
Holy ****, I read the if you are a true animal lover don't watch, I didn't think it was going to be that bad, imagine being eaten and parcially cooked still alive! And imagine what it feels like for the fish :( Thoughs people laughing URGH!
 
In Taylor's defence...

I'm totally against the breeding of white tigers. But I'm still gonna go to BGA. I have however wrote them several e-mails about how disgusting I think it is and I make every effort to spread awareness of the cruelty that I think is a desperate shame. If people stop wanting White Tigers in zoos and such, they will stop being bred. I should probably just not go to any zoo which owns them, and I generally don't, but where it's too much self sacrifice on my part I still contact them to tell them I disapprove and such. Is it enough? Probably not. But I think there comes a point when sacrificing your own needs (or in this case, wants) is just too much. And I put myself first.

lol i just read that topic a year or so back when you wished death upon people who took drugs. class that mate

i had fish for dinner today, was gorgeous, poured salt n vinegar over it. i nearly orgasmed it was that nice. im sure that woiuld have been a new way to eat fish!!
 
I personally havn't watched the video,because one thing that touches a nerve with me is animal cruelty.I know there are videos on youtube of cats and dogs being skinned alive which would turn my stomach.I even watched a tv program once of frogs being chopped in half whilst still alive,just so the French could have their frogs legs.

The thing is,I know there are things going on out there that are dispicable,but I just have to ignore them.Nothing I say or do is going to change that.I have no right in saying how a country should behave.We have things going on in this country that are just as bad,just look up battery chicken farming for one instance.

What I'm trying to say is,this is just ONE instance,it's only because a video appeared on youtube that people have become aware of it,had this video not appeared,nobody would be any the wiser.Things like this are happening everywhere,everyday.

Far worse things are going on out there,and right now,a dead fish isn't top of my priority list.
 
Translation: I don't think it's right, but because I don't want to sacrifice things in my own life to stand up for my beliefs, I'm just going to sit here and b*tch instead of taking a stand for myself and what I believe in.

No, I can sit here and bitch about it all I want. I'm not gonna ruin MY life and stop living because I don't this animals should be treated like that. Me not working at McDonalds is going to do nothing but ruin MY life; if I quit, it would only be stopping the household income.. The animal abuse would still continue.

I've taken stands by maybe signing petitions and I've donated money to a few things before, mainly just animal shelters and stuff, but at least it's doing something that's not gonna sacrifice my quality of life but still help something else.

I can say how I feel, it doesn't mean I have to give up everything for what I believe in. What do you have to say to my sweatshop comment or my child slavery comment? Do you agree with child slavery, yet do you still buy clothes? Because I guarantee half your clothes were manufactuerd in sweatshops.

Joey illustrates my point perfectly. Thank you Joey.

Oh, and I have YET to receive an answer on how you feel about the way lobsters are boiled, Taylor.

I think it's sick. As much as I love lobster (yes, I've tried it, oh no, I can't say I think boiling them alive is wrong because I've eaten it!), I could never actually go into a store and pick out a live lobster to eat. I've had pre-packaged or alread dead lobster before, and though that doesn't necessarily make it right because I'm pretty sure they're killed the same way, my mentality, however wrong it maybe, is that if I'm not personally picking it out to be killed for me, and if it's already dead, why waste it? I've actually made a scene in Red Lobster before but that's a different story for a different day. In short, they're delicious, but they need to find a different way to kill them.
 
I was a bit shocked by the video at first, but then I read this topic and I'm inclined to agree with UC and Furie. Culture certainly plays a big part in this argument. I still wouldn't do it, because I'd probably feel bad, even knowing the death the fish I eat go through.

I am still very much anti-drugs, when I said it I didn't mean it literally, obviously, it was just taken a very bad way and I put it a very bad way. Anyway back on topic.
 
Whilst something like this disturbs me,can I just get one thing into perspective,it's just ONE fish.

There are so many other horrors going on in the world.

We've reached over 100 British soldiers being killed in Afghanistan,and yet not one single mention,but eat a fish whilst it's still alive,and oh my god,lets bring on world war three.

For ****s sake,it's just a fish.
 
For **** sake!!! Why has the debate gone from the actual point to sweat shops. This is no longer a debate rather than a pointless argument! Why don't you take it to pms so we don't have to filter through the babble and get to the point where we are actually discussing the bloody fish!
 
Why the original debate was just the same posts about how morally shocked. This is fun! Got my popcorn.
 
^ Exactly!

All this topic started as was a Little video of about 5(?) people Eating a finsh that was still alive (For a very short time) and peole going OMG POOR SINGLE LITTLE FISH! Now that UC's back Hilarity and learnings ensue!

Can I have some popcorn?
