A bit ago there was a forum thread on do fish feel pain and different ways to euthanize can some one tell me where it is?

There are articles about putting them in the freezer--a slow death as they turn into a Fishsicle. Or articles about injecting them with a toxic substance--the fish not your hand idiot! What I do I quick and it's over in an instant. 1. Catch the fish. 2. Place fish in plastic sandwich bag with no water. 3. Insert bag in folded newspaper. 4. Place newspaper/bag/fish on floor. 5. Say good by to fish. 6. Stomp the fish with a size 14 shoe. R

Or just do the bag thing then whack it hard against a flat hard surface.

As cruel as that sounds... its much better then letting the fish suffer, but if there is any chance to save it, I would most defenitely exaust all options of saving it before putting it out of its misery.
