Euthanasia aka 'mercy killing'.Did you know that fish's brains are highly tolerant of hypoxia, such that the animal may remain conscious for some time after its head has been severed from the body?

It is deem cruel to;
1) plunge them into boiling water.
2) plunge them into iced water.
3) breaking their neck, without subsequent destruction of the brain.

Acceptable methods
1) Concussion( very gross, no disscussion )
2) Decapitation( also very gross )
3) Anaesthetic overdose( I think the most humane of them all ).

There is a method call "bleeding" where the fish received a poke through the brain for instant death. Blood is then left dripping off by slitting certain parts of the gills. These methods are common used by Tuna fishermen to preserved extreme freshness.

Billy, told you to leave the gross details out right?! Actually, just want to point out the chilling or freezing method that's being advocated around is not considered humane. People, the fish feel pain until the brain is dead.
