john point of view is interesting and sounds more natural. I agree with it except that it implies that we all need a big guy in a big tank to do the job. >From my past experience i would like to add that when i went to see several wholesaler in Frnace, most of them had a pool with turtle or very big fish who they give the dead, injured, sick fish to. Now, is that "human" and painless to have your fish being eaten alive by other? Well, it's natural ! Thus hiting your fish to end its days is also fater and less stressful and painful then the eating stuff.
