Woman Alleges Mother Punished Pet Fish by Throwing Them on Sidewalk in Childhood Abuse Account

A woman has shared a shocking account of childhood animal cruelty, alleging her mother would punish pet fish by removing them from their tank and leaving them to suffer on a sidewalk. The revelation came as the woman, known as morgonicmuse on social media, reacted to a viral video depicting a fish being placed in a net for 'time out.' According to her testimony, her mother's methods involved taking Dory fish and eels from their aquarium and throwing them onto the concrete sidewalk, allowing them to flop for several minutes before returning them to the tank. The woman, who was between seven and nine years old at the time, described being distressed and crying, unable to intervene. She stated her mother intended these actions to 'teach them a lesson.' She also expressed complicated feelings towards her mother, who is reportedly battling cancer. The woman noted that her mother had previously faked a cancer diagnosis, leading to skepticism regarding the current situation. The account has garnered significant attention online, prompting discussions about animal welfare and intergenerational trauma.
