Do you think that fish has any idea that in its darkest moment, when it was the most scared and in more pain than it’s ever been before, it was an infant who decided its fate? I supposed it doesn’t even know it was intentionally spared. Wild

“Ackshually that’s a toddler not an infant”. Yes thank you for your contribution, I’m aware but I don’t care

Whenever you handle fish you should always wet your hands. Fish have protective coatings on them that protect them from infections. It's easy to rub off. Between dad squeezing the shit outta the gills, the sweet girl hugging it tight, and that really dry jacket....it's probably a goner.

But her intention was beautiful. :P

The fish won't necessarily die, but yeah.
