Nothing Says It’s Over Like Fried Goldfish

I hope that she gutted it first. That would be a gushy suprise.

They really do fry anything in Texas

Couldnt they get her on a cruelty to animals charge?

Not so funny. Kinda weird. Sure, it’s a little different than if she had killed his cat, but still wrong.

I always thought of goldfish as being pretty unrewarding pets. At best, they’re just a nice decoration that require a ton of maintenance that can cause a mess, consumes time, and is rather difficult.

Still, I get attached to inanimate objects, such as iPods and computers. I still couldn’t imagine eating pet fish. No, it’s not at all the same as eating a cat or a dog: is eating a cow the same as eating a dog or a cat? Even if it has a name? No. And I say that as a vegetarian — certain animals make better meals for a variety of reasons. Livestock, as you may notice, primarily eat grains and grass. Eating carnivores and omnivores isn’t as good for us, nor is it as tasty (I had bear once, many years ago, and it was awful), although ease of capture and domestication were surely a factor.

That said, it’s still unsettling. It’s indicative of some degree of mental imbalance, and if I were her common law husband, I’d take the message to heart and put as much distance between us as possible. The torture and murder of pets is a common tool of intimidation in abusive relationships and it shouldn’t be taken lightly.
