Well, you can do whatever you like with your fish, I will never flush mine. This is a retarded conversation I seem to be having with a 15 year old.
Comparing slavery to flushing a dead fish?!?! Thats not even relevant to this discussion.
lmao.BAD NEWBIE NO FLUSH
So did i that was hilarios! (bad speller)lmao.
I about wet myself.. thanks for that
Well i ahve chickens and when one of those die straight to the binI freeze all of mine and then bury them. I don't have the heart to flush of throw them in the garbage. You wouldn't do that to a dog or cat would you? Same thing to me....
Well no bears in Australia but we have foxes that dug up my beloved bantam died i buried him next day the hole was dug up And good point i loved all of the chickens that died!Yes, our chickens go in the dumpster as well. By burying animals we attract wildlife to our property, which only results in more dead animals. Two years ago we buried a cow carcass in our field and had a grizzly come and dig it up.
On a farm death is a part of every day life. I will spend the time to bury a special beloved pet ( or better yet, have it cremated) but the fish fall into the same category as the chickens, rabbits, mice, and other livestock. In the bin. It sounds a little callus but it comes from practicality. It does *not* mean I didn't love the animal. I have brought chickens in the house to tend to their ailments, given them stitches and TLC, but I can still ring their necks if their suffering is great and from there they get a "gosh, that's too bad" and into the bin they go.
I'm not saying there is a "proper" way to deal with the remains of a dead animal in your care - just that this is the way that I and many other people do it, and that there is no reason we should be told that we are wrong. Like I said before, a person should do what they feel they need to do. If this includes a ceremonial burial, then that is cool. It's okay to feel that way!
