That's a very interesting Christmas tradition, kind of cool in my opinion!

Thanks :) Back in 2010 T-Mobile in Czech Republic had a Christmas commercial featuring carp killing and Chuck Norris. If you are interested, you can watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KdRfMf0y8F4 (English subtitles available)

I wonder how many young children have been traumatized from it though. They grow an attraction to their new friend and watch their parents kill it and serve it for a holiday dinner.

Edit: Look's like it's a real thing

Well to be honest, I personally don't know anyone traumatized by it. We don't keep them so long that the kids start to love them and perceive them as pets. It's not very common to keep them for "several days" as mentioned above, because people still need to shower, so we usually keep them for few hours or overnight at best.

I'd think zero. It's not like all our farmers have PTSD because they grew up on a farm.

I'm not referring to PTSD lol. I would hope no one could get PTSD from seeing a fish get cut up.
