I'm looking for a piranha video thatw as posted on the old board, I think it was a bunch of piranhas that hate a rat in like 30 seconds, anyone still have a link to it or the video itself?

Yeah and it was really unnecessary for him to feed them a live mouse, what a cruel sob.

Sounded like a female. But more importantly I think that you might need to feed them live because I know some animals won't attack/eat things dead. For instance, some snakes. Though it's still a terrible, sad thing.

I've heard that it's better not to feed them anything live as it can give them bacterias and mess your aquarium cycle but I'm no piranha expert.

Neither am I so you could be right.

Maybe I'm too sympathetic towards animals, but I think it's fucking sick that someone actually put a mouse in there and then videotaped it.

I don't have trouble with seeing animals kill each other - they're just eating.
But what was up with that nerdy voice? wtf? throw that geek into the aquarium please.

I love how the mouse appeared to still be breathing/drowning when it was reduced to its upper torso and head. Now DAT's hardkor3

on discovery channel i saw a piranha video a few years ago. a catfish was being eaten alive by a bunch of piranhas, the fish still kept on swimming when it was reduced to only skeleton and head. tough fish.

this video was hard to watch, pretty sad. shold have killed the rat before or something, poor thing.

Before I downloaded this, I thought you guys were over-reacting. I didn't realize this was in a private aquariam owned by people more horrible than I.

This is absolutely horrible. Sure, it's something that's done everyday, but damn, seeing it makes you realize how horrible it is.

on a related note you guys are lucky it was so short, i saw some guy on animal planet dip a pretty good sized turkey (already dead like you'd buy at a grocery store) into pirahna infested water, and it was down to bone (literally) within 3 minutes.
 
cool video. what the hell else was the mouse going to be used for? to be be killed by a snake. I don't feel a least bit bad for any rodent because they really are that gross IN MY HOUSE. More power to the Piranah's.

LOL @ all you sympathizers... Get over it, it's life. What do you think Piranahs eat? fresh fruit? Grow up. Please.

I don't think that's the point. I think the point is that a very disturbed gentleman found the feeding of his fish to be so amusing that he'd post it all over the internet, and that we found it really fucked up.

Although, if they did eat fresh fruit... that would be awesome. Especially if it ate pears.

Fuck a rodent. I lay mouse traps and pop pigeons around my house with a Pellet/BB rifle and not feel bad. Besides that I have always wanted to see some pirranhas in action. I want to see a camera dropped in a river where a cow's been let loose.

Chuncks of meat, they can be raised from a young age to eat meat pellets, beef heart, or fish fillets.

Point is, you don't have to feed them live mices and tape it while doing some "funny" commentaries. These people shouldn't be allowed to own piranhas.

BTW, that 'announcer' is from Joecartoon.com and is just sampled from a flash cartoon thing. I only watched the video for a while, but obviously didn't hit the gruesome part you all say. I decided that there's some things I'll be glad I didn't watch, and this is one of them.
 
It wasn't even that "gruesome" just nature taking its course... Sure the commentary was a little uncalled for, but definitely nothing to get all worked up about. Better the Piranah get a meal, than a mouse trap.

Uh, no, since a lot of people feed their animals in this way.

But who would video taped it and upload it to the net for people to see? The person who feed the pirahna obviously knew it was gruesomely offensive.

Education maybe? I for one have never seen a fish like that in action, so it peaked my interest.

Feed it with uncooked meat then, instead we get to see the gruesome death of an animal. From everyone's description, the rat must have suffer extreme pain as it is getting devoured and it is trying to escape.
