What is a humane way ....

Absolutely unbelievable.

I can't imagine legislation that regulates euthanasia for fish. For the love of God, please do not let our government go that far, though I can certainly believe that they would.

I think the law is actually directed at commercial and public aquariums, but it does have spill-over consequences for the hobbyist.

I'm not saying that I support the legislation; I'm just pointing out that it exists and that the reason behind the law is to prevent unnecessary suffering.

One could surmise:

Freezing=suffering

That is quite interesting that a country actually did something like that.

What happens to the thousands of fish consumed by the masses? Are these narcotics put in use for them?

I doubt I would go to the store to buy drugs to "stun" my fish so I could in the end kill it myself anyway. Now, I am all for humane treatment, but do fish really need to be stunned for the half a second they are out of the water so I can use the chop or smash method? Not in my opinion.

IMHO, that law is completely silly.
