jeez...you haven't been married long enough to be writing stuff like
that. wait a few more years and you'll be in the "still alive but
without their soul" stage.

I once saw a gutless fish swimming.....well, finning and holding it's
position in a stream.

THE FISH COME OUT OF WATER THAT"S GOT ICE IN IT, DOLT. Since it's a
catch and release season, they go right back in the water. And swim
happily away. You can't kill a trout by dumping it in ice water. You
can do a mercy kill on the fish from your aquarium that way, as
they're mostly tropicals, but not sturdy, hardy northern fish.


The reason you're getting answers that lack respect is that you
deserve them. You're neither respectable in your views of fish and
fishing nor respectful of others. Go now.


Again, I need an example of my disrespect. Remember to consider what
I'm replying to.

Catch and release isn't what I had in mind, so maybe this doesn't
apply. For other fishing, the ice is meant to anesthetize the fish, as
it says in the original post. If a fish won't stay in the icy container
you put it in, then it won't work, though I'm thinking you can cover it
or use a deep container. If it doesn't work, that doesn't make me a
dolt. It make me someone who wants to prevent thousands of cases of
suffering per day, and the lack of support here, and lack of complaints
about people like you makes this newsgroup suck.


Thousands of cases of suffering....? This group sucks - for you , because
this is the wrong group to talk about killing fish.

Cold, cold, cold. Good thing my coffee cooled down because that would have
been a painful splork.

Still wondering why people are messing with this troll.

I think its because either he is either the most clueless person we've
ever encountered on this newsgroup or we are being toyed with by
greatness. If its the former, its kinda like poking an anthill with a
stick (black ants, not red). If its the latter, I want to be his
agent.

I'm not looking for a rise. I'm just posting it in appropriate

Trust me, there are plenty of other groups that would just love to
read your original troll.

Well, lookee here, I found a thread that might interest you. Too
bad it's old:
http://makeashorterlink.com/?U22B42E2C

Maybe I'd ice the fish, then cut of it's head while it's
alive, but I don't think that's what Sarah Fox suggested (I wish Google
Groups would let me review the thread as I'm replying). Too bad there's
no official word on what's best.


"Officials" have better things to do than sit around and wonder if
baby fishes are traumatized when mama and papa fish are taken away, or
if a fish would prefer to be thrown in a bucket of ice water.

A question for you: Did you know that big fish eat little fish?

And yes, I give insects at least a little thought too. If I squish
them, I squish them extra hard, and I still wonder if I'm doing the
right thing. I wish that was seen as too cruel rather than too
bug-loving. I won't worry about plants until I hear that they might
suffer.


I always put my tomatoes in an ice water bath as soon as I pull them
from the vine. You just can't be too careful these days.

Well, first, not so much as a "by your leave, your most serene Grace,"
and then, SOMEONE forgot to curtsy...and I don't mean one of those rude
little hardly noticeable knee-flex moves, I mean a real honest-to-God,
presented-to-the-Queen debutante-shaming curtsy....

Ah, yes. I can see it now. Mama Trout watching her eggs turn into
iddy biddy fishes and she says to Dada Trout. "Oh, look. She has
your ears and my eyes and nose. We'll name her Henrietta after you
and me."

Once the eggs are hatched, the "parents" could shif a git what happens
to them, and when a baby trout (baby?) gets to be a little bigger, say
two inches, Mama or Dada would eat it in a NY second. *Now* we're
talking about pain.

Um, assuming it to be only one or the other, what difference does it
make as far as all the conversation/arguing with and/or "explaining
things" to good ol' Barry the compassionate? "Barry" got what "he"
wanted the instant anything was taken (even the least bit)
seriously...and speaking of clueless, let's look back, shall we?

wiggly picture-wiggly picture-wiggly picture

"I found this on the web, but it's not there anymore for anyone to check
or anything. I don't really fish...well, except a couple times and
there was this high-dollar eel...anyway, so I thought I'd preserve this
venerable scre...er, treatise somehow, and so, TA-DA!!! HERE I IS!!!"
(picture a transsexual with an ice chest full of fish popping out of a
cake if it'll help - it probably won't...)

And thus, spaketh the Lord, the battle was joined -
Extra Consonants 12,945:1-3
"And amongeth them were brave ROFFian soldiers who stepped uppeth to
engageth, correct and otherwiseth educateth the interloper..."

Might I suggest yet a third possibility? Have you considered clueless
versus clueless? Not naming any names, mind you, merely suggesting the
concept for your consideration....
