The fish who didn’t get away

So let me see if I understand this right.

A butcher decides that an unsolicitedly flopping, talking fish is a reincarnated man speaking on behalf of God himself. So he does the only logical thing he can think of:

– Kills it
– Sells it as (understandably enough) food

Am I the only one who finds this a bit odd?
And I’m not referring to the talking part 😀
