Description from the creator

in this video, i demonstrate how i believe to be the most humane way to euthanize a goldfish. i hope this demonstration is educational to you, should the need arise.
FAQ: please read before commenting:

Q: why did the fish need to be euthanized?
A: the fish suffered external tumors all his life which were removed during several procedures. he then suffered an internal tumor which grew to press on his brain, causing him to lose swimming control, appetite, sight and other senses.

Q: why don't you just cut his head off, bash his head flat or throw him in boiling/ice water?
A: there are several ways to end the life of a fish, my choices are humane to the fish which are also peaceful to the aquarist.

Q: why not flush the fish?
A: because an ill/dying/dead fish or a decomposing fish release toxins/bacteria/parasites into the water. the correct method is to either bury the remains or dispose of them in the garbage for collection. polluting our waterways or drinking water is irresponsible.
