you can knock them out by freezing them for like 20-30 minutes before cooking them, or jam a knife behind the eyes to take them out instantly if you don't mind the flopping around they do afterwards

Imagine you are there, there is a blender and a button in front of you. Sign: "Push button to kill fish". What will you think? What will you feel?

I would take the fish home and keep it as a pet.

The artist's statement seems to be complete nonsense. Precisely the same argument could have been made if children had been substituted for goldfish.... and the Judge and expert witness's also seem to have a warped sense of right and wrong. Their opinion and judgement could also be said to apply to child substitutes. ie because death was instant and no pain was involved therefore there was no cruelty.

It's funny how people completely miss the point of the art installation.
Somewhere out of all the people who visit that museum, there's going to a cruel person out there (or a morbidly curious one) and that's what he's trying to prove.

The fish aren't being eaten though. They are being outright killed for no purpose other than art.

If there's no suffering, is it cruel? Pointless maybe.

Art is a legitimate purpose, imo. As is sport (hunting/racing), etc.

You could probably shit in a bucket and have it put in an art place these days.

Sure, but there should be some boundaries. As far as sport goes, when hunting, the kill is normally used for food. When fishing, if you do not plan on eating the fish, you return them to wherever you were fishing at. I get the artists goal in this scenario and it's really not that serious but I think a fine is proper punishment. Poor fish

The proper thing to do wood be to build a huge blender and insert Chilean-born Danish artist Marco Evaristti, and Peter Meyer, director of the Trapholt Art Museum, feet first and put blender on S L O W
Speed until fully blended and see how much they enjoy my idea of creation of my art work plan. It may not be legal but it wood be the Morally correct thing to do.

they should have just removed the blenders
unplugging them takes away all of the value

Eating to sustain life! Any good fish cookbook shows how to use a knife on the Lobster before tossing the Lobster in a pot. Same theory as taking cattle to the slaughter - One does not want to kill a frightened animal or at least that is what I have read. (may or may not be true and I wood hope it is true) I poke the Lobster where they show me in the book b4 the Boil.
From a scientific standpoint, the muscles toughen with the shock of hitting the boiling water, which means more chewing for the diner. If you go for the plunge method, put the lobster in head-first which should kill it pretty much instantly.
Some cooks are concerned about humanity issues of cooking a live lobster. In fact, research indicates the lobster has no central nervous system or cerebral cortex to register stimuli, thus the creature mostly likely can feel no pain. However, killing the lobster just before cooking is the preferred method.
There are several ways to accomplish this. Putting the lobster in the freezer an hour before cooking will do the trick. Quicker yet is to plunge the tip of a sharp knife straight down right behind the lobster's eyes.
For those who do not wish to wrestle with a thrashing lobster prior to cutting the spinal cord, place the lobster in a large pot in the sink. Begin filling with cold tap water and gradually increase the heat factor of the tap water until it is hot. This will desensitize the creature so you can cut the cord and put it into the pot or cut it in half for further cooking.

If it died instantly and painlessly, what's the problem.

Killing just for the sake of killing a live anything is not good Karma.
Killing ants that want to bite me is justifiable ...Killing them for the sake of killing them is not good for nature or your long term Karma.

But the point is that it makes the viewer choose between life and death. If it's unplugged then the choice has already been made for you. It takes the responsibility for the action away from the viewer and divests it in some higher power.

I prefer consuming my meals when they're still alive (both plants and animals). I don't really have a problem with this, I just think its silly.

Oytsters, octopus, shrimp, squid, fish, etc. No mammals for obvious reasons. Steak tartar is as close as it gets there.

Raw squid? Never tried it raw in a Sushi bar. Shrimp Yes and I think those are fresh water and they Fry up the head and one tries not to cut tongue on them feelers. Octopus Raw??? Chewy nuff cooked.
Of course Fish as Sashimi and Sushi and only once I tried raw Mussels placed before me by a trusted Sushi chef. Hummmmmmmm just checked the tide charts and for me to pull some Mussels off the rock wood mean going out after Sunset. Love my 10 mile runs that include the Green Flash which I saw as Green rather then the blue of the past few days. So probably no Mussels to go with my Homemade Green Chile Stew
