what is the most humane way to kill a fish

[cougaraug]

I think that we have established that euthanizing any animal under any condition is inhumane, right?

:eek1: :eek1: :rolleye1: Ahhh NOPE.

Why would quickly ending the suffering of any creature that had no hope of survival and was suffering be considered inhumane? On the contrary I would hope that compassion for a suffering animal and a wish to "put it out of its misery" would be considered VERY human.

I've had to kill many times to stop the suffering of an animal that was not going to live and had no hope of medical intervention, its not easy and it can be a heart wrenching decision but in the end it was done for the right reason and most importantly QUICKLY.

I think the question now should be 'whats the most humane way to kill a thread?'

 

[GSerg2]

>> ok if your looking for a fast humane death just put it in the ole
>> blender and turn it on high. Presto! Instant death.

>> How can you possibly deny that?

Yeah, but I don't think I would want to mix margaritas in that blender again. blech!

[cougaraug]

i just cut their head off with a nice. Simple, fast and effective.

If you have access to lab chemicals then MS triple 2 is the way to go, it is a cocaine derivative that we use where I work to anestitise or kill fish.

 

[jiggy]

smash it with a brick as hard as u can.. it wont feel a thing.. alot better than freezing it to death

 

[Runner]

The voice of experience: don't try a CO2 pistol. It takes too many shots to hit the nervous center. A brick would be much better...

You have to be kidding!

You have to be kidding!

Throw it in the ocean? You actually have people worried that 1 sick fish thrown in the ocean will be ecological suicide? Hope this people arent advocates of drip acclimation. The shock alone is probably enough to kill the fish when thrown in the ocean, plus sick fish = easy pickings for predators. The ocean is not one of our tiny weenie fish tanks you arent going to infect the whole coast with one sick fish the dilution alone makes that improbable. decapitation, freezing, poisioning, running over or drive by with the 12 gauge/ak combo is much quicker then slow death in the tank. Enough said! Do fish feel pain...Jury is out still. ending the pain quicker is still humane so what ever the flavor its the thought that counts.

In the fish store I worked in years ago the manager would smack the net with the fish against the wall or sidewalk, I suppose it was fast and painless, but I could never bring myself to do it....

Actually, you bring them into a beautiful room with music playing, you surround them with videos of fishes and scenes of the Great Barrier Reef. As the fish begins to smile, you gently place two drops sleep potion into the water and then reprocess the fish into Soylent Fish
