Piranhas

Yes I did over react I know and im sorry, but I think some of that was inhumane and immoral. That'd be like me posting a half eaten pirahna on here and saying "look guys my salvini ambushed this pygo and all thats left is its ass" and everyone saying yeah rock on dude thats awesome. I find that a tad just aa taaad bit disturbing correct me if im wrong, then again you don't have to because as you said, my own opinion is just that. I saw something and I did look deeper, and what I saw was a lot of possible disturbed fascinations with destroying innocent life and cheering it on like its a damn sport.


peace:rolleyes:
 
You know you are right I did let my own dislikes and bothered viewings get to me and I didn't need to lay it out like that, I do sincerely apologize, I do realize everyone has their things and likes and I stepped in and bashed on someone else's personality. I regret that very much. Just not a good day I guess. Again im sorry.


EDIT: GG I just reread your post and realized just how decent it was and wanted to apologize to you directly for flaring up. I realize your intent and it was a mature decent approach that I followed up being rather immature about. My apologies and no hard feelings :)

I do understand your reaction; it is not something I have not encountered before.
What I did find interesting was that you did not get upset at the mouse feeding video in another forum on this site, but got very upset with pictures of the Jag...I think this shows how all of us have our own opinions of what is humane and moral and our personal likes and dislikes guide us to these opinions.
Just an observation.

Peace

Interesting. you are very correct. I did feel a certain disturbance by the mouse thing but it was an excitement that came out by it. Afterwards I was like man those things just demolished a mammal. Then when I saw the Jag like you said a personal opinion sparked and I got pissed. Sorry for my outbursts. I do realize they were totally uncalled for. Kind of feeling ashamed but hey its the internet :p I don't have to get red for ya all.

No apology needed. As you and I have both stated, it is your opinion and I respect that. Just letting you know that not all piranha owners are the same.
If you ever choose to visit piranha-fury again, let me know, it is not as bad as your first experience. There are many members on the site that feel as you do about feeding fish that people keep as pets is horrendous, but there is so much more to the site than a few pictures.

Will do :). I'll go into with a different approach next time around.
 
If you do vist PFury again - and I hope that you do - I hope that you will find something that you like:D

and also I hope you realise that not all piranha owners are obsessed with carnage as both me and Grosse Gurke are purely into these fish for the same reasons you like cichlids or whatever it is that you like.

as it happens I am into much more than just piranhas, I love all fish from the mighty arowana to the humble neon tetra and so I also generally avoid the carnage on PFury.

I must also add how reasonable I think you guys here are for listening to what we have to say despite the obvious conflict of opinions:D
 
I'm locking this. I really appreciate the fact that everyone has kept level headed about this, and I understand that some people really enjoy seeing the carnage created by a predator doing it's thing. However, the links will remain in place, and interested parties can continue to check them out. I just don't want to see this thread go downhill, and turn into a cheering section for destruction. This is the same reason that the thread in GCC with the rat being attacked was closed.

Please don't think that discussions on piranha keeping are unwelcome--it is clearly a subject that has as many myths and misunderstandings as any other aspect of the hobby, and it is refreshing to see keepers who are interested in, and advocate, keeping these fish for something other than a killer instinct.
