Reminds me of the Polish christmas tradition of keeping a live carp in your bath tub.

For those who don't know the point is you buy the fish a few days early instead of waiting for the last minute. You keep it alive in your bathtub because you don't have a big fish tank just for Christmas dinner. Then you have fresh fish.

Nothing about this practice hints at intelligence. "Say, let's stop bathing." "I know, we'll eat some shitty fish for Christmas instead of something good." There's so much more, but I think I've made my point.
