PETA members: don’t read this!!!
My friend, while in school, had many different pets at home. He took very good care of them, but anyway he was not able to prevent one accident. It happened during a very cold winter, on a day when their house’s heating system broke. The temperature in the house was decreasing quickly and the water in his aquarium was also getting too cold for the fish. Unfortunately, he did not have an aquarium water heater so he used his mother’s immersion water heater – the one that is used to boil water...
He placed a protection cover around it, so that the fish do not touch it, but then his mother asked him to to something. He went to help his mother, and completely forgot about the fish. When he finally was back in his room, it was too late to save the poor creatures. He never had fish pets after that. But we would tease him anyway – why didn’t you add salt and lemon juice? Why didn’t you at least try the soup? Were you THAT hungry that you had to boil the poor tiny fish?
