Burglar killed fish because "he didn't want to leave any witnesses"

Goldfish have a reputation for being snitches, of course. A cop says the 16-year-old suspect looked at the fish tank and said "We can’t leave any witnesses." He then killed the fish. (Suburban Chicago Daily Herald)

Perhaps the kid has seen "Finding Nemo" too many times.

He also killed the bird so it wouldn't sing and the pig so it wouldn't squeal.

To me it shows an utter lack of humanity. Not a huge fish fan, but isn't killing someones sense of security enough?? We need Farmer Bob!

Cruelty to animals? Really? They're FISH!! They have a memory span of 2 seconds. Those are some trumped-up charges if you ask me.

Was it mean of the guy to kill them? Yes, but I'd charge them with destruction of property rather than cruelty to animals though.

Pointless cruelty by someone indicates severe personality disorder issues. He'll be a more serious menace in the future.

these are chilling youngsters
someone is always pointing out that psychos start at a young age pointlessly killing small animals

[Farmer Bob and the City]

Sterilize him now.

....actually, twerp, they have memory spans longer than 2 seconds. We used to train ours (my family had a zoo, besides just the parrots) to eat out of our hands. Then it was proven on Mythbusters that goldfish can remember how to navigate mazes, even days between running it.

Thought that episode was interesting, even though it "proved" what I already knew. And it's still cruelty to animals. :(

those fishes now sleep with the fishes

Now if it was koi... then you have to worry. Those bastards will turn on you.

[twerp]

I must have missed that episode of Mythbusters. Good to know!

[American Veteran]

What would the little punk have done to a mermaid?

I'll check that out when I get home....can't do it here @ work.

True story: The entire time I was in labor with my son, I was watching a Mythbusters marathon. It was the only thing that would take my mind off the pain.

@twerp: Girl, you're a much braver woman than I. /hugs

That was WITH an epidural. The epidural only worked on one side of my body. It was very strange.
