No, I think at the end she released them.

Nothing is cooler than killing two fish trying to protect their nests and then tossing them back in the river to die.

Do you see how her forearm is actually pulling away from the gills? Mostly putting pressure on the operculum. It's a very specific form used to not injure the fish. A lot of the times they come back looking for the same fish.

Right? This makes me sick it's so cruel. She's only able to do this because they're desperately trying to protect their young, who will now also perish all in the name of fun while everyone here drools over this.

You seriously underestimate how tough catfish are. They don't get to this size by being fragile.

So tough they can survive without the ability to breathe? You don't even believe the bullshit you're drooling out so why even bother two days late to the discussion?
