jocstrap 8 Posted October 13, 2009 it's over 2 1/2 years old, not eating, floating all day long at the top of the tank on its side, each day it's much worse. Flush down the toilet - 2 minutes of hell - - fish doesn't deserve this Boil pot of water - dies instantly let it die naturally in its tank - a long, horrible death Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pimptastic69 0 Posted October 13, 2009 It's a fish. It's not like it would save you if your house was burning down. If it doesn't fit down the toilet, throw it in the trash. Even if it doesn't fit in the toilet, I'm sure it will eventually find "fish heaven". Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Emmitt Smith 0 Posted October 13, 2009 I boiled a pot of water - - He flipped for about a second - game over - it was a good fish Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable. All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor; those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind. They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent; His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart. Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together.... Thougths and Prayers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FranksTanks 0 Posted October 13, 2009 I think it would have been pretty funny to take him to the vet and ask that he be put to sleep. Tell them you'd do it yourself but you can't afford to go down like Vick. Also, Betas are pretty cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phillybear 365 Posted October 13, 2009 Staple it to a wall mount. Attach a car battery. Either than son of a b!tch learns how to sing or it explodes. Sew eyelids onto that unblinking focker. Watch as the fish swims into the walls of your tank headfirst over and over and dies from blunt trauma. Put it inside a moist envelope and deposit into the night delivery slot of Pepperidge Farms.

jocstrap 8 Posted October 13, 2009 This is from Posty's link - I think we have a winner I could not believe some of those dumb azzs ways - are they serious? Snapping the Neck Some people effectively snap the neck by hitting the fish over a hard surface or on the kitchen counter (covering the fish in a plastic bag first). Given that decapitation would be a more certain way of severing the neck, decapitation is a preferred method over "snapping" the neck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jerryskids 5,248 Posted October 14, 2009 Years ago our family cat had to be put down; the kids were sad but quickly recovered. We then got a fish, betta or tetra or whateverthefock, little thing. Within a few weeks it croaked. I figured that being the wubbing dad I am, we could bury it in the back yard. Fayle. You'd have thought the kids' mom had died or something, they were so incosolable.

Saint Elistan 106 Posted October 14, 2009 Kinda brings back bad memories. When I was like seven we had a litter of kittens running around the house. My mom was trying to avoid stepping one when another ran under her foot. She landed on his neck and it just started spinning in circles on the floor with it's head as the pivot. It wouldn't die either. My Uncle happened to be outside working so we brought it to him and he finished it off with a shovel. I think Phillybear just came.
