Brian da lion Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Still, I think the most humane way is to just take it out back and shoot it. Link to comment
andre Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Have you read anything at all in this thread? When something freezes to death, it's brain shuts down and then it slowly dies. It's completely painless with barely any stress. Plus, like Pico said, we are warmblooded. It is painful for us. They are coldblooded. It's painless for them. Maybe you should do some research. I was at the bookstore and read through all the fish books there and read that it is very painful for the fish. Did you even bother to read the article: http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-the-most-h...nize-a-fish.htm "Unacceptable methods of euthanasia are: freezing, boiling, chopping, removing the fish from water, using a seltzer tablet, slamming, pithing, decapitating, or flushing down the toilet. These methods are slow, torturous, stressful or violent." Link to comment

Use a few bullets just to be sure. Slam the fish against your back steps a couple times to the same effect and be done with it. Link to comment

DementedLullaby Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 If you use enough clove oil it will kill them . You can also knock fish out with it like for puffers if you need to trim their teeth but enough is lethal. Why I suggested placing the shrimp in the fridge first is these animals aren't used to cooler temps. Their bodies sort of hibernate then you can place them in the freezer to finish the job off .

Why the heck is this conversation so aggressive? (My post was just as bad I know) By the way, what bookstore did you go to? I have gone to several different ones and haven't found very many fish books at all. What's left? It's a damn fish, just kill it and get it over with.

TheGent Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 freezing is painless and most humane. I don't want to start an argument or anything, but I've looked into buying live mice and then freezing them for snake food, and what I've read was disturbing. The crystalization of water on the lungs and the pain that causes in particular detered me. That being said, that was a mammal, and this is not. I'm REALLY suprised that no one offered up a good shrimp recipie, but one shrimp does not make a meal. Is that in bad taste? Link to comment
oceanqueen Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 do cleaner shrimp even taste good? Link to comment

They have plenty of fish books, I took a grip of them, sat down, and read. I was just defending my post, didn't mean to come off in a mean way. Link to comment
kevxross Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 energizer thread.... I dunno what you're referring to there, but that gives me a good idea. Place the shrimp/fish on a 9 volt battery so it's touching both contacts. Just pretend it's a criminal and deserved the green mile. Link to comment
