This reminds me of a friend when we took his kids fishing. His daughter was about 4 at the time - cutest kid like yours. She'd caught a fish and was looking at it on the bank. He father said something to the effect of "Let's throw it back in or it'll die." And this cute, darling little girl looked up at her daddy and said "But, I want it to die, daddy. Then I'm going to eat it." He's kind of an animal lover, squeamish sort. So it really got to him. I thought it was great.
