Ok, I've had a chance to think about this for awhile now. I don't really understand why this is a cruel thing to do to a fish. It's not like you're taking him OUT of the water and putting him in the driveway for the birds to eat or something. He's where he belongs, which is in the WATER. Granted, he doesn't have his little fake plastic trees and brightly colored rocks and stuff, but goodness gracious, at least he can *breathe*!

You go on to say that fish swim down rivers that cross the border all the time, so maybe Jules could tag her fish and we could see if he shows up in the US after being flushed. I wonder if she's planning to live near any major tributaries. Course there is the little complication of water treatment plants, I guess.......

*Sigh*

For all those who think me cruel, I take full responsibility for my words and actions. Sorry if I offended anyone or took the focus off of the OP. Not my intent.

I do have to say, though, that this thread made me laugh like I haven't laughed in quite a long time. I guess 222 days of waiting for the visa process will do that to you huh? I don't expect any sympathy from Mrs. London, because after all, I don't have *gills*.

Leslie...omg, what can I say? Da poor bunny, locking him up in a closet and stuff?? I think he'd be safer under your bed when I keep mine ...

What about Hyper? She was trying to keep a cow on her balcony. Is that really any different than a bunny in your closet? I don't know how big the balconies are in Spain. But is seems kind of risky to keep a cow on your balcony. What if it didn't have enough room to move around and lost it's temper? An angry cow might start thrashing around, knocking over plants and outdoor furniture. It could get so mad you would have no choice but to slaughter it!! At least my bunny is alive. It had a better quality of life under the bed, but for God's sake at least I didn't try to flush it, thereby losing the respect of bunny lovers everywhere.

I had a dream the other night where I visited Hyper in Spain and I have to tell you, the balcony definitely wasn't big enough to keep a cow on. I wouldn't even have enough room to turn round

Leslie, has your bunny had it's shots for myxomatosis? Very serious condition you know...

PS. You are all mad, the lot of ya!

Karen,

I can't get it shots because I haven't claimed it! I'm terrified someone will find out. I have the weight of the INS, IRS, and my husband, all on my shoulders. I've been living this lie for so long, I don't even know the difference between my lies and the truth. God, NG HELP ME!

Leslie,
Actually my first version had the fish being taken out of the water, put in the driveway and *PECKED* to death by the birds, but I revised it, thinking that too cruel.

Ah, the circle of life..................
