NeoConMan Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Houston Woman Fries and Eats Pet Goldfish After Fight With Husband Wednesday September 30, 2009 PASADENA, Texas — Authorities say a Houston-area woman who was burned up at her former common-law husband fried their pet goldfish and ate some of them. Pasadena police say it's a civil matter and no charges will be filed. The seven goldfish were purchased together by the couple during happier times. Police spokesman Vance Mitchell says the man reported on Saturday that the woman took the goldfish from his apartment. Mitchell says the two argued earlier about some jewelry the man had given her but took back. She wanted the jewelry returned. Officers who were dispatched to the woman's home arrived to find four fried goldfish on a plate. The woman said she already ate the other three. Jeez.... Amazing what women will do for jewelry. :D (Insert your own comment below) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeBudfrumHull_SG Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 Some people are so spiteful ! I guess she was inspired by "A Fish Called Wanda" and decided to one-up the the fish eating part by cooking them first ... :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Matthew Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 O.K...... I heard this story on the news earlier, the part that I do not understand is how a goldfish (as a pet) could be fried and ate, with no "crime". Do you think that she would have gotten off with nothing if she cooked up her dog or cat?....... what I am getting at, is how is it determined what pets you would go to jail for and what pets you commit no crime when you kill them? Is there a rule book somewhere? Disclaimer: I am a dog lover, and I am in no way suggesting that it should happen, just puzzled by the double standard......A double standard that could result in jail time.

surfpup Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 IMO, fish=food - not pet. That said, good thing this couple didn't have children. It might have really gotten ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Matthew Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I understand your point Surfpup, but do you think that defense would work if the person who fried up a dog said the same thing? Dog=food----not pet. I don't think that it would work, even if the person actually believed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gilliangirl Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 WTH??!! Why did she take it out on the poor goldfish?? They had no dog in the fight (so to speak) She should have fricasseed her husband and served him up with kernel corn and scallopped potatoes! (just kidding) Or better yet, served him to the goldfish heehee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Murph Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 I don't get it? I think you should be allowed to eat your pet if you want to. I had chickens a few years ago. I ate em' all the time. ( I ate their eggs every day for years) I've got catfish in my pond. I feed em'. I catch em'. I gut em', skin em' and eat em'..... We have a deal...... I'm thinking about getting a few pet cows. I like steak. What's the problem? I kill my pet deer every year, backstraps wrapped in bacon is the bomb....... =P~/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corrosion of conformity Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 The point is if she would have eaten a dog, the animal rights workers wouldn't rest until she was in jail. Apparently it's ok to eat goldfish, but since dogs have "feelings" they have rights. Poor goldfish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Murph Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 As far as I know, I've never eaten any dog. Having said that, I did go to Mexicali in the early '80's and got very drunk at a party, and ate something that looked weird, and tasted funny......
