Comparing Smokey to a Koi is a false analogy.
I disagree. Goldie wasn't just a fish, she was a pet. People do eat fish, but they do not eat pets. I eat fish. I also have two fish as pets. I am quite attatched to them and I would be very, very upset if someone stole, cooked, and ate them.

I'm inclined to agree with GreekyPenguin that the wierdness issue got this more press.
