Tattooed Fish ! What is your opinion of placing a tattoo on a fish

Thats all we need...next time I put a plate of fish sticks in front of my kids they'll be screaming "Daddy, this fish stick had please don't eat me tattooed on it"

Its right up there with live insect pins. Which I have seen are coming back in style. We must have some really bored people in the world. Why would I buy fish tatooed (dyed) with stripes or dots on them. I can buy them that way naturally. it is amazing what some people will do or buy. I can't blame it all on the sellers coming up with these ideas. They wouldn't even try if there weren't enough crazy people out there that would buy them.

I think that people are nuts. They are always doing something for a buck, and this beats them all.

LOL... hey... if they can do hairstyles on dogs, die fur to match the outfits of the owner, etc. why not tattoo your fish? I think it's kind of neat. What a great marketing technique, in particular at a big expo where you're trying to get your company name out there! I'm sure there will be some animal rights activists that will be there immediately calling foul and inhumane treatment! LOL

LOL! That is cool! I like it. We had a big aquarium a 10 years before in our home, and I would have liked it in that time to have such special fishes.

LOL, what will they think of next? This is pretty crazy. I never thought about putting a tattoo on any animal, let alone a fish. Aren't fish pretty enough without tattoos? I mean, fish come in all shapes, sizes and colors, as it is. Surely a person could find one to suit their tastes without using money on adding a tattoo to the fish! LOL! That being sad, to each their own, if people have money to spend on something like that. I don't see anything wrong with it, as long as it is not harming or hurting the fish ^_^

I think this guy says it best: Bruce Friedrich, spokesman for PETA agrees, "Nothing says 'I love you' like cruelty to animals." It's not tattooed, it's dyed and the process is horrible for the fish to endure. It's in no way cool, and the dye doesn't last on the fish, the fish's life span is considerably shortened, and they're more prone to diseases. Do not buy these fish, it only encourages them to keep doing it. http://www.deathbydyeing.org/moreau.htm

It is not ethical. I wouldn't do it for any fish.

is it really tattoo or they wear off after sometime? i think that is really out of control! these fish having to go through cruelty such as that!

That seems like animal cruelty to me! There is no reason to have a fish tattooed. I mean it isn't like they get up and walk out of their tank that you'd need them tattooed in case they got lost!

I think it's rediculous. I can imagine how much it costs and I'm sure it's quite enjoyable for the fish. How absurd why would you want to tattoo a fish. Next we'll have dogs getting their owners names tattood on them and a few piercings to boot.

i think that would hurt them since they're skin is thin. i think it's harmful and abuse to fish and should be stopped. it's like if i wanted to tattoo my cat someone would be sure to flip out. i wouldnt do that but it's the same type of thing.

Ok...what ever, what's up with that, what the heck, what for, what did you say, what kind of fish, what kind of people would buy them, what kind of people tattoo them, what are they thinking, what do you have to pay for one of these tattooed fish anyway????? Oh what's it matter I wouldn't buy one.

Okay I just looked at the two sites. Let me just say that when I decided to quit smoking I was dumb enough to pay for this "low intensity" laser treatment done to parts of the ear. I felt every little pinch and it didn't even work. I quit on my own because I was so mad at myself for spending 93.00 on it. My point is that if I feel discomfort, imagine what a little fish gets with a low intensity laser. That's just wrong. Not to mention the slap some guys are going to get if they bring their sweethearts a tattooed fish for Valentine's Day.

I swear I learn something new in this site everyday..this is the weirdest thing I heard so far..lol..I don't know if I would buy them..that just sounds expensive..lol..I guess I would say as long as the fish aren't being hurt, it's ok..weird as all heck, but ok..

I think it is crazy. No really good reason to do it in my opinion.

I think that is just so wrong. They are not cows to put that sort of a thing on them. I think people are just carzy nowadays.

IT is abuse- pure and simple. These people should be shot, and what will it teach kids that it is ok to mutilate animals. ANd just becasue it has a tattoo the will care for it better then a regular fish. I don't like tattoos on people and even less on fish..that have no say in what is done to them.

Oh far out! What will they think of next. I have heard of some strange things, but I think this tops it off. I wonder if those fish won't last as long. I actually feel sorry for them, they are pretty enough anyway.
