Yes the question could be "is this person an animal"?
But I don't want to discuss the disgusting drinking 'game' called 'Neck Nomination', but what I need to ask is "was the RSPC going a little over the top over this?
The court heard that this idiot will be able to keep his pet goldfish as Magistrates declined to disqualify him from owning animals. He could have also faced a six month jail sentence, and under the Animal Welfare Act, 'torturing or killing' the fish - each several centimetres in length - carries the same weight as killing four horses.
Do we make it a criminal offence to hook fish in angling, or allowing them to die out of water during commercial fishing, or even boiling a lobster alive.

Mrs jom recently bought a crab ...a live crab. So looked up on the web the most humane way of killing it (didn't fancy eating it alive) and a seafood company recommended stabbing it in the vitals. Apparently dropping a crab or lobster in boiling water cause legs to drop off and other problems which are deleterious to the quality of the meat..
