    The goldfish probably had more brain cells than this moron.

    What a totally stupid and moronic thing to do. It's the poor goldfish I feel sorry for :( I hope this stops or slows down the Neknominate craze.

    i understand the drinker was a bit green around the gills afterwards.

    The scales of justice will fall heavily upon this one.

    The RSPCA need to get a grip of themselves in my opinion.

    But Gavin Hope wasn't on a jungle-based reality show though was he.

    He ate his pet gold fish for some daft internet dare, so he did deserve to be punished - if nothing else to stop one of his equally daft mates from upping the stakes and drowning and eating a new-born puppy or something.

    I suspect he was only prosecuted because he is a common Northerner.

    The criminal justice system in this country is utterly f**ked.

    Absolute bullshit. He would have been prosecuted wherever he lived, and rightly so.

    Eric Morecambe did it regularly in front of millions.
    But it was a slice of carrot.:)

    So why don't the idiots doing it for some daft TV dare deserve to be punished? :D

    I thought the necknom craze had died out.

    Because the RSPCA is against cruelty to all animals, even those dumber than a bag of rocks...

    Why does being on a jungle-based reality TV show validate it then? It's still scoffing live animals for no other reason than to entertain viewers. As for your second point, that's just nonsense hyperbole tbh

    Exactly. :)

    I do not feed the goldfish in the pond in the colder seasons (as their metabolisms slow down).

    Just started again and they remember me after six months, feed out of my hand and let me stroke them. ^_^

    They always remember me year after year.

    Three seconds?

    Er, looks like it's just you and me on this one. :blush:

    If you can think of any more good ones, let minnow.

    Hi Kippeh.
    Was the goldfish a close relative? :(

    Nah if he tried necking the bugger I posted above now that would be impressive.

    But the Goliath Tigerfish would bite off his knackers first.

    Karma? I am shocked. I know it is, but you? No it's not funny at all!
    Just the swamp life of the human race in action.>:(

    If he'd have slit it's throat first and let it slowly bleed to death, he'd have been on safe ground I reckon.
