I read this news http://metro.co.uk/2017/01/21/man-who-swallowed-live-goldfish-then-posted-video-on-facebook-facing-jail-6396736/ and thought that people are going crazy. They charge man who ate fish. Don't they eat fish or meat ?
What is this supposed to mean "Devon was found gulity of causing suffering to the fish" ? Don't they know how people do fishing and that there are slaughterhouses where animals are slaughtered? Is it some kind of naive infantilism ?

Hello,
In the UK there are rules concerning the treatment of animals and they have rights. Anyone who causes unnecessary suffering to an animal can be charged with the offence. When people go fishing, the fish is normally kept alive in water or killed immediately it is removed from the water.
In this case the fish was not a 'food' fish and it was eaten live as a stupid escapade, accordingly in this instance the perpetrators of the crime should be charged.
Some of the rules relating to animals in the UK can appear strange to people from other countries as yes we do eat fish and meat but the animals have to be caught and 'processed' in accordance with the law of the land.
Hope this helps
Bob

*It's just one man.
This "swallowing a goldfish" thing was very old "game" or "dare" that college (university) students used to do as a kind of rite of passage to joining a fraternity or just as a dare by friends. It goes as far back as the 1920s (maybe even further back), but it's certainly not something that's done anymore (probably not since the 1940s).
