Of course, unless you hit your thumb while holding the bloody thing in place. |

Hmmm,
I was having a lunchtime meeting in the pub today with a work associate. She was telling me that her boyfriend has just been offered a job in Dubai, and she has been offered a post transfer plus relocation to join him, but she was in a moral dilemma:
"I've got chinchillas".
"Well can't you get some cream for it?"
*sniff* there's no helping some people.

Prescribing to euphanasia of non-sentients does not show a disrespect for life, rather the opposite. Any relationship issue would involve his lack of sympathy at the situation, this is something he may need to address.
On the other hand, your assumption that you care more about life because you want to keep the thing alive through it's suffering needs to be looked at too.
The best way to resolve situations like these are when you both agree you are falible, and both pledge to alter your behaviour in future. If it's just one person whos "in the wrong" then this perpetuates a shame cycle. (I saw that on the Simpsons)

I used to hate hitting birds with my car so started carrying a golf club around in the boot.
But the trouble was i was in my missus's car when we saw a little chick on the side of the road, obviously fallen from a nest and had broken its wing so we both decided i would have to take it out. Of course she was crying her ees out but luckily next to a building site so i picked it up and put it on a concrete block and chucked a brick on it. It died instantly but had shit on my hand when i was carrying it so wasnt too upset!

Is this an extract from Peter Sutcliffe's autobiography? |

What do you do if a bird s**ts on your car?
Don't take her out again.

I keep tropical fish and they actually are proven to feel a high degree of pain, i usually freeze them as this sends them into a coma then death.
Lots of people use an alkaseltzer, this produces carbon dioxide rapidly and they pass out and die.
Flushing is just sick.
I hate when people see fish as not the same as a puppy or kitten, if your puppy got ill would you stamp on it?
I have a fish in my tank that have a 10 year life span so i have made a commitment by bringing them into my house.
I soon intend to set up a marine reef tank and the fish that the missus has fallen in love with ,(not me, not that sort of fish) can live 20 years, so not something to buy without thinking about it

Ladies and Gentlemen I know that all is well with the world when I read a post like this. The complexity. The moral dilemma. There is no right or wrong answer and more to the point there shouldn't be. Keeping the sick fish with the other fish very obviously could lead to them all being ill. How many of us have gone into work with a cold though? Sod humanity I have a duty to my boss. You can die from a cold. Should the fish have been flushed down the toilet. No of course not. Should life support machines be turned off? Dear all these questions are way too deep for me. That is why I have no pets and stick to selling printers and playing poker.
