They were very upset about the dire fate that awaited the fish; I told them that "Piku'ach fish is not docheh Shabbos."

It seems that once people buy a pet, then all kinds of things are deemed mutar under the rubric of unavoidable 'tzorech' (one of my wife's favorites is the person who fed their pet chameitz in the garage - the chemeitz was owned by them, the garage owned by them, the pet owned by them, but you can't starve the creatre, right?). In reality, the tzorech is easily avoidable - life will go on without Rover or Lassie, etc. I'm not anti-kula; I'm just anti-avoidable-kula in this case.Chaim B.http://www.blogger.com/profile/02231811394447584320noreply@blogger.com
