antwan Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 It is against the animal ethics to feed vertebrates to other animals, but not illegal. I say go for it (I do) as they are a great source of food. And of course, natural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fruju Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 No way, that law would make no sense whatsoever unless the means of death are inhumane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrienne Posted February 26, 2011 Report Share Posted February 26, 2011 Its not illegal but it is a sensitive topic among some and is better discussed in private imo. However think 'food chain'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rabbit Posted February 27, 2011 Report Share Posted February 27, 2011 In the UK, the Animal Welfare Act 2006 prohibits deliberate and “unnecessary suffering” to animals, but contrary to widespread belief, it does not explicitly outlaw the feeding of live feeder fish to other fish. However, it does prohibit introducing two animals for the purpose of “fighting, wrestling or baiting”.[4] Not the case in Nz but none the less could be fought by authorities here.

firenzenz Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 So when is a fish a fish. Not the case in Nz but none the less could be fought by authorities here. I just stripped a Red Empress after 8 days looking for Cuckoo syno fry. There were no syno fry so I fed the eggs/fry back to tank. Murderer? :dunno: Even worse I was using Empress as a Surrogate Mother without even a mention of a contract. Now I'm freaking she's going to go for custody of the syno fry. :facepalm: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshlikesfish Posted March 1, 2011 Report Share Posted March 1, 2011 Now I'm freaking she's going to go for custody of the syno fry. :facepalm: Hopefully she doesn't make you pay child support :facepalm: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishie123 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Me and my girlfriend went to certain fish store in Albany to find some breeding pair of goldfish. So I could feed my Arowana. When i went there, I asked one of the staff member if they were old enough to sex for breeding. She replied, "Why do you need to breed them for" I think out of curiosity. I replied "I want to feed my Arowana". Then she looked at me with a disgusted face saying. "It is illegal to feed live fish to another fish under the animal welfare". So I immediately back off. As I didn't know what to reply. I assume she was right as she work in a fish store. Jarod had an idea of feeding my arowana goldfish. So i told him what the person in a certain fish store told me. Didn't mean to have hate after mentioning what someone from the pet store told me. But no evidence has found to back her statement about feeding live fish. As I visited the animal welfare site and it doesn't have anything to do with gold fish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenix44 Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 Some pet stores sell all animals as pets only. That includes fish sold as pets and not as live food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
livingart Posted March 5, 2011 Report Share Posted March 5, 2011 nothing in animal welfare specifically on the issue 0 Obligation in relation to physical, health, and behavioural needs of animals The owner of an animal, and every person in charge of an animal, must ensure that the physical, health, and behavioural needs of the animal are met in a manner that is in accordance with both— (a) good practice; and (b) scientific knowledge. feeding live food would be supported by that but maybe in contravention of this Wilful ill-treatment of animals (1) A person commits an offence if that person wilfully ill-treats an animal with the result that— (a) the animal is permanently disabled; or (b) the animal dies; or © the pain or distress caused to the animal is so great that it is necessary to destroy the animal in order to end its suffering; or (d) the animal is seriously injured or impaired. (2) For the purposes of subsection (1)(d), an animal is seriously injured or impaired if the injury or impairment— (a) involves— (i) prolonged pain and suffering; or (ii) a substantial risk of death; or (iii) loss of a body part; or (iv) permanent or prolonged loss of a bodily function; and (b) requires treatment by or under the supervision of a veterinarian. (3) A person who commits an offence against this section is liable on conviction on indictment,— (a) in the case of an individual, to imprisonment for a term not exceeding 5 years or to a fine not exceeding $100,000 or to both: (b) in the case of a body corporate, to a fine not exceeding $500,000. Compare: 1960 No 30 ss 2, 4; 1993 No 19 s 3(1). Section 28: substituted, on 7 July 2010, by section 5 of the Animal Welfare Amendment Act 2010 (2010 No 93).
