A man has caused outrage after viral video showed him drinking Whiskey through a dead fish.

The man was out with his friend on a fishing trip and celebrated their catch of the day in a stomach-churning clip which horrified many viewers.

In the footage first posted on TikTok, a man is shown placing a can of Bourbon inside a dead fish’s gill.

He then opens the fish’s mouth and drinks the alcohol from it.

A man is heard cheering while the cameraman says: “This is called the fishy.”

While he pours the Bourbon down to his throat, brown liquid can be seen spilling down his topless chest along with the alcohol.

The dead fish can be seen twitching when he holds onto it by both hands.

Since the video was posted a week ago it has racked up more than 540,000 views.

Many who watched the clip slammed for the man’s act and called it “disgusting” and “cruel”.

One said: “That is just vile, why would you want to do that?”

Another commented: “That’s cruel it’s still moving.”

“Horribly disrespectful,” a third wrote, with a fourth adding: “Wait until he goes to the toilet with all the parasites. Disgusting.”

Wendy Higgins, director of Humane Society International told Daily Star that the act showed “a mindless lack of compassion”.

She said: “Sadly, social media platforms are often used to spread upsetting images and videos of animals being abused or disrespected.

“Whether it’s filming yourself drinking from the lifeless body of a fish you’ve just killed or taking a selfie whilst sitting on the dead body of a giraffe you’ve just shot, treating animals like worthless objects for likes and clicks shows a mindless lack of compassion.”
