    I'm sure the neon tetra values its life. Would really suck if some alien landed on our planet and stuck us in their phone saying we're only humans.

    ... Or betas in tiny little plastic cups stacked up on a dealer's shelf. Or like a lot of things.

    If I go outside and shoot a bird off of a phone wire because it gives me a "good feeling" personally -- that's not necessarily "good".

    If I justify it by saying that the bird might have have been grabbed by a hawk anyway -- that still doesn't make it "good".

    Get it?

    Again, simple acts of kindness are in short supply. Sad.

    hahahaha im sure he had them in there, they died, and he never did it again. I'm sure this is just purely a gimic...

    i think there is no point on debating the value of the tetra's life. Since im sure some people crush snakes, spiders, flies etc without thinking twice. same crap different pile... its living, it's cruel, welcome to the human race.

    So it's ok for me to go outside right now and shoot a sparrow off of a phone line cause it's fun?

    No line? No debate? Just go have fun?

    I'm sure he does. I bet he thinks about his life all the time. I bet the fish was thinking wow, this really impairs my plans for tonight. I hope my mommy fish isn't worried about me. Hope I don't miss my tv show tonight, oh wait, I got TIVO!

    Cmon people it was obviously a gimmick. He shot the video showed some friends etc... then im sure those fish were back in the tank. If someone was smart enough to get fish into a phone, im pretty damn sure they know how to take care of a fish and understand the negatrives that would come by leaving live fish in a phone.
