Now that your turtle is too big for its tank, think it'll be better off in the wild? Nope! Same goes for goldfish. Releasing pets into habitats where they're not native to is a very bad idea. Watch this video to see what happened to a local lake when a few goldfish were released!

To those of you who are concerned about the way we euthanized the fish, that was how the DNR instructed us to do it in order to legally remove them from the lakes. We were required to put them on ice. As much as I would have preferred to use Club Soda instead, my first priority is to make sure everything is done legally.

Please please consider adding clove oil to the bucket you threw them in before tossing them on ice. Ice is an incredibly inhumane way to euthanize fish. Clove oil or smashing/decapitation are the most humane ways to euthanize fish. I understand they are invasive but that is no reason that they should suffer. (Also some incorrect information about goldfish were given in your video, the max size that most goldfish reach is 12 inches in captivity as well as the wild, 6 inches is an incredibly stunted max size for goldfish!) Editing this to add a response to the people replying to me: Ice is in no way humane, please do research. The fish suffocate and freeze. Common Goldfish max at around 12 inches (with some cases of them reaching 18 inches). Koi are the ones who grow larger. I will admit I didn't think of how clove oil could harm the reptiles, I'll give you guys that one. I understand that they said to remove them and put them on ice. You could still kill the fish with more humane means than suffocation before tossing them on ice. These fish are animals too, they deserve a humane death at the very least. I understand the circle of life but that does not mean that we should throw chickens in a bag and beat them to death, or that we should cripple a cow before slaughter. This video has upset me so much that I had to unsubscribe, I wish you all the best.

When you release your animal into the wild to give them a 'better life' what you're actually doing is basically just saying: "I don't want to take care of this living creature with it's own needs and I'm too lazy to find someone to take them, so I'm going to abandon them in an environment that they have likely never been even close to before, filled with things that will either hurt them or that they will hurt. My animal will most likely die young, but I'm not going to think about that, I'm just going to imagine it finding others of it's kind and singing kumbaya around a campfire so that I can pretend I did the right thing!"

If you’re sad about the goldfish dying then you should be *more* sad about all the native species the goldfish are killing! It’s not their fault people are ignorant about releasing them but culling is the only way to stop the native animals from starving horribly and mass dying. The ripple effect of invasive species can be devastating and cause *more* awful deaths. They’re spending their time volunteering to do important work and deserve huge kudos for this public service. Death is a natural part of the cycle of life, I’ll never understand people who love animals but don’t understand that culling is an important part of saving wildlife and get angry at people who do it. Culling even happens naturally sometimes. They did it as responsibly and as humanely as they were allowed to do

​@iamalien6215 no, being pets is how they ended up infesting the lake and decimating the local wildlife. A goldfish gets released again or a pescavore bird spread eggs to another area and the cycle starts all over again. Vast majority of fish owners are unable and unwilling to care for such large fish, you couldn't rehome that many goldfish to save the ecosystem. They are torturing the native ecosystem. They cannot be taken and given away and have the possibility of spreading. Take some time to research invasive species

If they can’t relocate the fish then they need to cull them, anything less is as I said creating more death and destruction. I don’t like it, I wish they were never abandoned in the first place, but they are doing a community service and shouldn’t be attacked for it.

Emily and Ed work hard to keep the animals and ecosystem around them as safe as possible and now it's suddenly a crime to clear out the problem in which is causing and unbalanced ecosystem. I'm sure If nobody cared about this topic it would be far worse and the decline of the surroundings species would have been way more dramatic. It's the circle of life. Please stop hating on people who are trying to save the ecosystem. Don't wake up and choose hate. Keep it to yourselves.

🤔🤔👉That's a great 2nd point to justify what's going on here. The first point(which the angry posters DON'T get), is the obvious need to remove a terribly invasive and destructive species, which are literally KILLING native species. Your point adds legitimacy to the justification of what's going on here, which is that they are essentially just "FISHING". That's obviously a common, legal activity. Better yet, they arent just "sport fishing", they are actually utilizing them to feed other animals, therefore removing a "noxious species", but then putting them back into the food chain! 👉👉Benefit #3: This indirectly saves the lives of other "feeder animals" such as newborn baby mice(pinkies) and adult mice and rats.👍😀👌

thank god im a game wardens daughter, i grew up learning about animal control, population preservation and wildlife. everything about this video is factual. my dad, brothers and i went into a lake in MN that was overrun with goldfish. took them out of the water, iced them, and brought them back home to till in our garden. not only did it feed us, but we donated the rest of the produce to my workplace. and yes, placing fish on ice is the way to not only the safest, but quickest euthanization of a fish. it's safer because it eliminates the time when decomposition starts by crystalizing the inside of the fish itself, aka bacteria are killed immediately. also, fish are cold blooded creatures, their bodies adjust to the freezing temperature and they pass out. if you even read human stories about surviving hypothermia, they say it's the most euphoric feeling right before they pass out. knowledge is power, the more you know the more you grow ;) thanks for coming to my ted talk edit: i should add that icing is the quickest and safest for a large group of fish that you're planning on handling with your hands. if it's a pet fish, by all means euthanize him/her with clove oil and have a nice ceremony. but do the world a favor and BURY them without plastic bags. the critters underneath in the soil will flourish. you can even plant a (-->native to your state

That said i think that this is a good thing theyre doing to reduce the invasive population (even tho the turtles are happy for the food) because theyre taking the native fauna's food and space, probably eating their eggs and reaking havock.

While I don't like the idea of killing animals even fish, it had to be done because the gold fish are an invasive species and were disrupting the ecosystem, which could be detrimental. Also, they have stated that using clove oil would have a negative effect on their reptiles that they would be feeding the fish to AND not to mention, they were required to put the fish on ice in order to get it done LEGALLY.

They’re invasive. Leaving them would devastate the native ecosystem and putting them on ice was the only legal option in their area. It’s fine to feel sad about the goldfish, but so long as you recognize that it needed to be done. Apparently other comments have been made saying that it was cruel or that the goldfish were “innocent” (whatever that means is pointless as they are inherently bad because they are invasive), but it was a necessary thing to save an ecosystem.

maigo1341 - nothing because we do a fine job of killing each other, both in the short and long term. The need to expand and consume will be our downfall, as our ambitions out grow the available resources and our livelihood becomes unsustainable. The only other major threat to our species would be a natural (or planetary) disaster of an extreme scale, like a super volcano, asteroid, etc. Climate change is a more gradual problem that (*I would think) escalates to rapid succession (as the food chain starts to collapse). If you can’t tell I’m pessimistic to a fault and think humans are the worst thing to step foot on this planet. Would much rather be a single cell organism.

They couldn’t have brought them to a pond especially after filming it for millions to see since that would be illegal since they are an invasive species but if someone did capture some and put them in a pond without filming I doubt anyone would know

I know I am super late to this video, but I am so glad Emily and Ed made this video. In my area people were flushing live goldfish down the toilet and they ended up messing up the sewer system with all the babies. Also, I had a goldfish I won at a school carnival that was 1 inch long when I got it, and it grew to be over 15 inches long and was 7 years old when landlord poisoned it with a bug fogger. He would come to the surface to get pets from me, but would bite anyone else that tried.

I had a goldfish that I got from a carnival and it survived a hurricane, in which it got no food or filtration for 2 weeks, killed over 14 other fish, and grew to about 12 inches. It survived 8 years and I really grew attached to it. They really are very hearty carps, which is why they can take over so many ecosystems.

I've seen the replies to the pinned comment, and honestly? im livid she HAD to kill them with ice, she had said at the start that they had to be euthanized before being brought home No she could not keep them, when you have to kill an animal you have to distance yourself from it. NO, she could not use clove oil do you WANT her reptiles to die? i dont understand how you can adore fish that have grown dangerous to other wild fish, and be fine with killing snakes who literally have a person who cares for them. Just because she has a alligator doesn't mean she had ASKED for one, rex just so happened to be mistreated, she couldn't stand for that. Actually pay attention please, maybe grow a few braincells, because your hating on a woman who's trying her hardest to help. I may be overprotective over animals, but this is just full on bullcrap, THIS IS NOT SOMETHING YOU CAN ARGUE WITH, get over it, and rethink your comments if it was about hate And if you unsubscribed over this? you weren't ever truly a fan, goodbye.

>she HAD to kill them with ice No, according to the official Wisconsin government website, killing with ice is recommended, not the law. I provided links in my response to that comment. >NO, she could not use clove oil The alligator and the snapping turtle would've been fine with the clove oil, they regularly eat 10x worse chemicals in the wild. The snakes I would be concerned about, but if she bled the fish at all it wouldn't be an issue. >Actually pay attention please, maybe grow a few braincells, because your hating on a woman who's trying her hardest to help. She is trying her hardest to help, but sincerity doesn't absolve criticism. I regularly catch and kill goldfish, but I take the time to properly kill them without causing unnecessary suffering. The thesis of this channel is to help animals and inform people about their care. When she actively inflicts harm into dozens of animals, it should be criticized. She even made a video about how you shouldn't freeze snakes, she clearly knew the pain freezing causes, yet she proceeded to freeze these fish anyways. >rethink your comments if it was about hate I don't think that anyone genuinely hates her for this, but blind defense of clearly wrong actions isn't positive. She should be as open to criticism as anyone else.

ty for the video, I knew this as a wee child, and forbid my friends from releasing their fish in a local city pond. I ended up re-homing a turtle at a local pond, but it was a sanctioned action, since they needed more turtles (theirs were being stolen), and the environment was better for her. Years have gone by, she's still alive, thriving, and will recognize me??? she'll come up to the edge to see me, and her underbelly design is unmistakable - love that girl. I can still pet her head.... I don't know how but she'll think of me - and I'll never forget her.

she was released in a city, man-made pond, those caretaker's objective was to teach and instruct children about the animals living in it, and from it. it's a garden, famously know for the tree-climbing chickens...and my turtle, Ms. Bean, because she was handheld since a wee baby, and is a sweetie. I miss her - but I know she's better there, the caretakers take excellent care of her, she he has a huge pond, friends, plenty of food, and dedicated caretakers...every day. But I do miss her...
