Ok then, I think I try less brutal ways
In general I disagree with Stan Laurel. However in this situation, I think it was a good idea to kill the molly as long as it was done humanely. It sounds like a bad sore and the molly might never get over it.
what should happen to folks who kill fish inhumanely ie flush, piranha food? do they not deserve to live as another member posted?
It all boils down to this, you always have the choice, show compassion or not. That's how we know good people from bad people, good people show compassion because they have a CONSCIENCE, good people just don't do or say certain things because they would feel bad about it afterwards. People are so selfish nowadays. It's like a video I saw the other day of some dude kicking some chipmunks out of his Air conditioner, he just tossed the newborns on the hard ground while he sat on his fat ass and recorded it, sure, he could of killed them, at least he let them go but it would of only taken 5 seconds to walk over and gently place them on the ground. All i'm saying is, it takes very little effort to show compassion to something like a little fish and it doesn't cost you anything, stop being a jerk.
The 'act' was your post. I couldn't care less how you feel about the fish, that's your business and it's worthless getting worked up about .lol, "committed such an act"
hey folks, i'm not a bleeding heart. but, i have cats and love them dearly and when i see a sick or injured bird or dog (i hate dogs) cat or whatever it kills me. i do have limits though. do you all cry when someone reels in a walleye and slices it open and eats it too? i don't know what to say, but a molly or a guppy or a goldfish is perfectly flushable. to defend a sick molly this strongly strikes me as quite odd.
The stupid thing to do was to make a post saying how you felt, it could serve no purpose other than to aggravate others. And understandably so, this is the 'Tropical Fish Emergencies' board, where people come to try and save the life of a fish, in most cases they clearly feel differently from you.
It's like walking into a hospital and saying how you don't think sick people are worth treating. Most people here quite obviously feel different from you, why make such a post when it's sure to offend people? .
I think three-fingers has summed that up nicely.
Its not a question of your ethics, I come from a farm upbringing where animals serve a purpose, but even so, a sick cat would be treated where possible, as would a dog/ horse - they are living creatues in our care ! The point is more - why come on here and post something like that ? Its bound to upset people and in some cases make them mad. Just stupid to post something as senseless as that, if you feel like that fine, but keep it to yourself.

Some people just have to be in the limelight..... you know the old saying, no matter whether it's negative attention or positive attention, they're still getting attention..... this is really the equivalent of a troll. We don't need this here. Hopefully, they'll hit puberty soon and we can expect a reasonable level of maturity any time after that.....
Can't we all just get along?
It was my beloved Molly that left to find a better place, I loved that Molly, I called him Golly. Although he never told me, I knew he loved me, I used to tickle his belly and hand feed him blood worms. If I could get a lead small enough I'd of taken him for a walk. I used to read him a bed time story, his favourites included Moby Dick and free willy and he hated Sushi.
The point is I had to kill my Molly because I didn't think there was anything else I could do. I didn't flush him away instead I put him in a bowl of boiling water and he died instantly I then put him in tissue paper and into the bin.
I personally value all forms of life, I wouldn't kill a fly, spider or any other creature if I could help it.
Also in response to Discus person who contributed further up the pages. Your not alone my friend Aliens do exist, there were 2 in my tank.

I say you don't deserve to live because you have no respect for life, big or small. Your the makings of a socieopath. Someone who can't roam the streets because they will kill without remorse. However here, you kill small animals without remorse. Thats only one step up on the slippery slope to a sociepathic and worthless human being. Most murders and sociepaths start out killing animals and thinking it's more than alright. And people like that do not deserve to live. And why thank you, I am crazy, but at least I respect the people and animals that I live with. I understand what it is to be cruel and inhumane. Throwing a dyeing fish in the street for cows to eat it, is about as inhumane and retarded of an idea or method of killing a fish If i've ever heard it. Seriously... now are you on medications? Do you get a high off of throwing fish in the street and watching cows eat them? WTF mate.
