You're allowed to go fishing aren't you?

for years fishermen have been telling us that fish feel no pain - and recent scientific studies in the UK suggest that actually, they might - now there's a surprise! On the other hand it is a popular belief that goldfish have a memory span of only three seconds - but to be honest I don't know how that relates to being blendered since once you've been turned to mush you're not going to remember anything anyhow yeah?

Fishing for food is different then blending a goldfish in one aspect : respect for life. You can kill for food, and be thankfull that you get to eat another day. That's how nature works. Now what do you gain in killing that goldfish? Increased fish-killing abilities? More like a 5 second happy-trip. No respect there.

"for years fishermen have been telling us that fish feel no pain"

No conflict of interest there :)

Shouldn't the people who actually pressed the button be the ones getting fined?

Sad thing is I don't think that this work is even original.

I recall hearing about a similar work called 'A matter of time' in which a small harpoon was periodically shot across a tank inhabited by a single goldfish.

The harpoon was retracted and shot again. I think that was in the eighties or seventies.

I don't like cases where the legality of the action depends on mental state.


If I kill a fish while fishing it is okay. If I create art and kill a fish, it is not.

Because of respect for life?

If it is legal to do something, then it is legal to do something...

We kept goldfish in a thriftshop blender in our dorm room, that was 1988. So when I first heard about the show, I thought, been there done that.

But when I heard this guy was getting charged, it was like hitting the puree button on my nerves.

When liquefying goldfish is criminalized, only criminals will liquefy goldfish
