The Puffer Forum

I agree it's upsetting - that's why special care must be taken in moving these fish. Fish store employees and the purchasing public need to be aware of the importance of careful handling. For this reason, I disagree that the image should be removed.

Death by air inhalation is very real and it doesn't serve to avoid the issue, IMO.

If someone's that thick, or that cruel, they've got plenty of things they can do wrong/deliberately floating around between their two brain cells. They don't need a pic to help.
I think informing the much greater number of well-intentioned people is a more valuable thing.

Agreed... I don't think it should be removed either.... I just thought it was horrible

I recently bought a dwarf puffer and fed it bleach on accident. We then froze it and played dodgeball with it in our dorms. THE DWARF PUFFER IS THE FUNNEST PET EVER!

Very cruel and not funny at all.

you are a sick person

oh its ok. I would not have played dodgeball with a live fish. I love them far to much to do anything of the sort. It is just a ritual that my closest friends and I have. For example: my best friend had a 4 foot saltwater eel that recently died; to play with it, we taped a rock to its head and used it as a "skip it." Since the eel was dead, this is not at all cruel. Sorry for offending everyone, i was just sharing my story and trying to enspire everyone to do the same.

it's not cruel, it's just sick. I think you need help...

racist

I don't hate you cause you're black. I dislike you because you have no respect for animals! you think you're funny, but you're not and I'm pretty sure everyone else here would agree with me. this is a place to get help caring for our pets, so if you need help, ask for it. If not, then please stop posting dumb things.

Do I smell a troll?
Better get my equipment ready.

Oh my gosh where did this come from?? It's not funny at all! I agree it's totally sick. Some one should feed you bleach, blow you up with air and use you as a dodgeball!

i'm assuming this is a wind up, someone is p*ssing around.

ignore it.

Please don't get into flaming here!

DPs do puff.
