That's pretty messed up. As someone who likes to fish, I do not have a problem with killing a fish if I am going to eat it. It's a quick, humane process. Since I don't particularly like the taste of fish, it doesn't happen often. When I used to have aquariums, I would occasionally have to "put down" a fish because of injury or something, and that was ok with me. I did it humanely and quickly.
Flushing a live fish down the toilet though....I've got a problem with that. Give it to a friend who has aquariums, donate it to a local grade school or high school science class, etc. Take it back to the damn pet store for that matter, but killing it slowly and inhumanely without purpose...not a fan of that idea.
