Is It wrong to Kill a Goldfish before it dies on its own?

I am tryign to get this blog in before the day is over as it was to be my offical launch day and it kinda is but with my workign at tim Hortons tonight gets me home late to write but I think I made it.

So those that have heard  I guess I am kinda doing the 365 day challenge yet I jsut really wanted myself to be blessed by what I have aroudn me and jsut remember that I do live everyday and things happen.

Well in my classroom at school I have ten little fish. They are great. Well you see though one of the fish started to swim slow and on its side on thursday so as I have expereienced in the past this means the fish will die pretty soon. Sad but you flush it and life goes on. I didnt want to kill itbefore it was ready to die so I left it in the tank for the weekend and if it got better it woudl live or like normal this fish woudl die. Well Monday mornign I go in and well the fish is still breathing..yet something had happened. The other fish started eatign it on the weekend so Half the fish was gone..you coudl see the back bones and the tail bones and stuff but the fish woudl still swim a bit and breath. everyone told me to throw it outside to freeze and it owudl be a quick death or to flush it well that wont kill it it will keep swimming its water :)! Well I couldnt murder the thing so I put it in its own bowl to survive or die whatevr it needed to do on its own time. This mornign I decided I shoudl take a picture for my first offical post..but it was gone...someone got rid of it after I had left. They tell me it was dead before they got rid of it but it was alive when I left. It was sad. I didnt want it to suffer but I coudlnt bare to kill it before it died. I figure fish die when its their time. But Wha tdo you do with a gold fish? They are different with fish from the lake becasue Of course you kill it and take it home to eat but a goldfish do you kill it? If you kill it how without hurting it more?

It was kinda sad having our first fish die? Then was it my fault do I not feed the fish enough? But how much does one feed them? I give them tons of food each mornign I though and peopel say they dont need much but did I starve them so much they have to start eattign eachother? Hmmm it was quite the event today..kinda sad...on a -43 wind chill day brrrrrr.
