Thats evil from where i'm standing.

From someone who works with fish and lives keeping fish, i find a - taking them out of water unnessecarily b - flushing them down the toilet disgusting.

Flushing a LIVE fish down the toilet is dispicable behaviour. That fish is going to live a fair while, in which time it will have every part of it's body burnt by chlorine and god knows what other chemicals, subjected to immense thermal shock, and other extreme trauma.

It may 'only be a fish', but people don't seem to realise that these animals do have personalities, they can be great pets, and are living creatures at the end of the day. Being a goldfish doesn't automatically make something have the intellect of a stamp, nor does it justify killing it without reason.

Would you race your cat in a pond, then bury it because you got bored? No!

Sorry, bit of a rant there, but whenever i hear things like that it really pisses me off...
