Our 1st Pets

We bought our 1st pets for the kids today.

Rather, Aidan and his Dad bought their 1st pets.



2 fighting fish.



I think it's totally cruel to let 2 animals fight until the weaker one dies of its injuries. Hubby, on the other hand, is excited about reliving his childhood and can't wait to "feed meat to the fish, keep them in a dark room for 24 hrs", so that the fish will become more aggressive and fight better.



When I roll my eyes every time he talks about preparing the fish for their fight, he comes on with: "So you eat chicken and you don't think it's cruel?". My answer - nope it's not because my chicken doesn't have to fight and bleed to death slowly. In conclusion, I still insist - fish looks best on the table.



The only thing I can't complain about these fish is they are hardy, no need for air pump or a pretty tank. 1 is currently in a old honey jar, while the other (lucky) one is living in our old fish tank (which holds the ghosts of many dead fishes, shrimps and snails, from our past fish-rearing experiences).


Don't worry, there's NO violence in the video below. The uncle at Qian Hu was right, the fish don't come like those in the older days. The ones now are more "high-class", they are bought more for ornamental purposes than for fights.
