Is buying goldfish for your cat considered animal cruelty?

She didn't eat them though.

You cheap son of a beachball.....Get your cat a Pirranha...way more fun!!!

yes

no, people buy live mice for snakes

People buy mice for their snakes...

not leagally, but I think that was a cruel thing to do that involed animals. So...

only if the cat ate it

Goldfish contain parasites that could make your cat sick.
Get her a nice can of cat food next time.

um, no.. they sell mice for food for snakes...

no, its apart of the nature chain system

No - Is buying rats for your snake animal cruelty? THATS WHAT THEY EAT! Is it wrong for a lion to kill a gazelle in the wild? NO ITS WHAT THEY EAT!!

It's no different than mice for snakes, or fish for turtles.

I had a painted turtle that would rip goldfish to shreds. Fun to watch.

Whatever. The fish are raised to be feeders. That's life. We all need to eat.

Getting a goldfish is good for your cat.
Keeps it interested in it and keeps the cat from scratching the hell out of your couch.

maybe.if u just bought them for food for ur cat , then i would count it as animal cruelty,but(as i see)she didnt.so yeah

not really umm but next time go with the goldfish crackers!! =)

yes....there are plenty of other toys that the cat can play with then other live things such as fish

and for the guy who commented about snakes and mice....thats their food source, not their toy...so its different

Wow you like your cat a lot, lucky cat....
