Oysters and clams don't have brains so they can't experience pain or mystery. It's not right to do that to animals that can but at least it's for food.

Or goldfish or bettas used a centre pieces in weddings.. afterwhich half are taken home to die, while the other half are flushed? Or the goldfish put in blenders or swallowed whole by 12 year old kids?

We don't have a problem with these things, eh? Speak for yourself.

What about the lobsters and crabs? How about the tanks so full of fish they can only swim in one spot? I think your forgetting how bigsuperstores seafood section really is

Like I said, it's not right to do that to animals with brains, but at least it's for food. In other words, it's bad but not as bad. I'm forgetting am I? Just the other day I was thinking of writing a story (I'm a writer) on the way live animals are treated in the seafood section of some grocery stores. I was wondering how long it would take me to get kicked out after whipping out my camera and taking pictures. Don't assume.

if this was a betta keychain would that be ok?
small plastic cup or keychain?

Good post.

I don't get it, who wants a fish key chain? Can you feed the fish or change it's water?? Or is it actually permanently sealed meaning you'll be carrying around a dead fish with your keys? I think this problem will solve itself after about say 3 days....

while we're at it, what about the chickens that live all of their live stuck in a small cage with 2 individuals in it, so they can't move to waste any energy and fat and all they do all day long is eat and pick at each other eyes?

just wondering but do you still eat chicken?
