Are you TRYING to get a rise out of people??
I've been on the side of ethical treatment for pets in several recent posts. However, I actually think eating your pet trigger (probably akin to eating a pet potbelly pig) is LESS cruel than stuffing 7-8 large aggressive fish into a small tank, and LESS irresponsible than buying a species which is completely illsuited for aquarium life.
I love steak...but if they slaughtered cows by starving them to death or putting 5 starving cows into a small pen together and seeing which one survives...I'd probably think about eating something else.
I like chicken...but if chickens were endangerered I'd probably look for another kind of fowl to eat.
So go ahead, eat your trigger...it's probably better than mistreating it.
