Instincts. Those fish that were more likely to struggle could better survive an encounter with a predator, which means they had better chances to mate and pass their genes to the next generation. Evolution in action.

The truth is there are many better things to do before you start an investigation about possible abuse of a half-dead fish by pouring champaign into its mouth. In most likelyhood, there are thousands of industrial enterprises in Poland that kill millions of fish every year through pollution. Unless you deal with these first, this police investigation would be just a PR stunt.
