Live sushi

Shame on you for posting that in a reefkeeper forum.
Come on now, if i knew where you lived id cut your tank power from the street.
Do you have no shame?

Kind of harsh don't you think? Cutting hisn power off would cause the fish to die a slow and painful death so you are no better.

If we would really be so good to our fish we would Not keep it in the glass box to begin with.

When we buy anything that is worm blooded from LFS we are just as same,

When we buy a dog and cut its ears off or a tail (because it looks better that way), we are just as same, How about removing cat's claws? how would that feel.
lets face it, we the people, we don't realize what we do, and most of it is for profit or entertainment.

I believe that there is a huge difference between what conscientious animal lovers do and what that video portrayed. Is what we as reefers do somewhat selfish , you bet, but certainly the vast majority of us do everything we can to provide a safe and healthy home for our animals.
To torture any animal for any reason is completly unacceptable.

Nothing personal to you, nevertheless for example, how would YOU like to be kept without freedom of movement, freedom of reproducing, castrated or spayed, your ears trimmed, tattooed, microchipped, have a collar that would shock you with electricity, claws surgically removed, kept in a cage and have all your freedoms taken away by Conscientious animal lover ? Just because you look cute or its cool to have an animal like you around the house?
Would that not be a torture?

I would rather have my nails removed than to have to fend for myself and scavenge for food in dumpers every night while fighting off other rabid diseased animals competing for the same food..(trust me I know what it's like - not fun). My cat is declawed, tattooed and neutered and lives more comfortably than I do

yikes! Uh.. ya, I'm going to pretend that it was something like one of those electronic singing bass and go to my happy place now..

Ok that was shocking. Kinda like some of those PETA videos, have youguys seen all those? Some of those images will never leave my mind.

C'mon...seriously?

Your going to really compare buying anything warm (I think you meant 'warm') blooded from a LFS (not sure how many warm blooded animals are found in a LFS mind you) to eating a fish live piece by piece?

I don't understand why you visit a fish keeping forum if you have these views?

On another note, I have seen another video where they fry a whole fish live, at a very high heat but only for a few seconds each side until it sears. Then pour some sauce on it and serve it still live. The people at the table start ripping it apart and eating it as the things eyes are moving around and it wiggles. You just hear little giggles each time the poor fish moves Everyone pauses for a moment until it stops and then start ripping it apart again.

Won't get into the dolphin videos from Japan (most disturbing to me) but I will say its all very sad.
