Fish for dog food

[Talking moose]

Seen on a different place, that a guy was charged for wasting fish for feeding it to his dog. He won the case in court, as he used the fish for his daily limit. But it cost him 9 hours travel time and 2 missed days of work. What are your thoughts of using the fish people catch as dog food? I see it as legal and all but I feel there are better choices for dog food with our fragile fishery. Each to their own I guess. Anyone else see that thread?

I love my beagles and i treat them as my equal. I dont see a problem.

I don't do this since I feed my pups dog food from the pet store. But if I ever offered them my fish as treats and someone made a fuss about it I would be upset.

I saw the post as well.
If I shoot a deer and decide to give my dog a hind leg that's no problem and my choice.....so I dont see an issue here either especially if the dog is actually eating/chewing the fish. If it was running wild grabbing randoms off the ice and just playing with them then there would be an issue as that would be wasteful. Seems like this case was pretty cut and dry and blown way out of proportion.

With this carp invasion I'm surprised someone isn't netting them, and processing them for pet food.

Personally I see at as a waste, but I’m not a dog owner. Don’t see much difference between feeding it to your dog or using it as coyote/bear bait.

See lots of a certain ethnicity using netted fish as dog food. Probably would be considered racism and an affront to their rights if deemed wasting game.

I believe they are doing that or have in Sask. i think it was a Quappelle chain lake.

My grandparents used to make cat food out of suckers. I think I remember reading that there's a guy that uses the perch out of Sundance to feed his dogs.

I don't see anything wrong with using rough fish (within reasonable quantities) or invasive species to feed your pets. Can't say I'd be too impressed to see someone toss a 20in 'eye to their mutt, though

Good food from a pet store

If your dogs had a diet of fish, chicken, venison they would be in better health....don't judge the book by its cover....internally.....sled dogs eat what?
Wolves eat....little girls with red hoods


To the OP if a buddy drops off fish and we eat I go pave a chunk to the dog, if she spits it out I make a burger......
