IME, pet shops let them die in the tank. Why? The hope is some (choose your
adjective) soul might come by and buy the fish because they think they can
"save" it. Not to mention the 2 week guarantee, so the customer isn't out
any money even if it does die. Thus, pet store fish are usually quite dead
before they're tossed in the trash. ~ jan ;o)

So I ask you, is this any more humane than my earlier suggestion?

Sorry George, I'm not going there.

My comment was only to the "what do pet shops do". I'm in the "knock 'em
down with Finquel and freeze" group, and if they're as big as a keeper
trout, whop them on top of the head, if you're talented enough to do so. I
could never just toss 'em on the ground, even if there was absolute proof
they were not suffering, as *I* would be suffering, why cause myself pain?
