While reading another forum I i read something terrible.
Firstly; How people dye fish,
Injection: This involves removing the fish from water and injecting dye directly into the fish through a hypodermic needle. This needle is large in size (when in scale to you or a general household pet) and can often be completely un-sterilized leaving the fish highly susceptible to infection. This form of dying is probably the most common and has an especially high fatality rate.
Tattooing: This involves removing the fish from the water and drying it to a point where a mild abrasive can be used. This abrasive makes the dye more easily absorbed to the fish in specific locations. This procedure affects the fish very directly and is among one of the cruelest things you could do to a fish without killing it.
Dipping: This involves striping the fish of its slimecoat then dipping the fish in a coloured dye solution. This may take several "bathings" to reach an opaque colour and is highly stressful to the fish. Fish dyed this way have a slightly larger chance of reaching sale however due to the procedure (particularly the stripping of slimecoat) they're immune system is weakened and they often die within 2-4 months following the procedure.
Laser Painting: This is a relatively new way of dying and involves the use of a laser to create intricate designs on the fish. In order for this procedure to be done the fish must be removed from water and remain moist for an extended period of time. This procedure works in a very similar fashion to "tattooed" fish and although a lot more sophisticated is just as harsh on the fish.
The worse part is cutting up fish, letting them live....

OMG i cant beleive that people are that crule to cut the tail of a fish just so it can look a differnt colour!!!. If u dont like the colour buy another FISH!. i am 100% dyeing fish of anysort and im sure there would be a few people here who would fell the same.
How disgusting. Unbelieveable and sickening to see what some people will happily do to animals, just for their own gratification. :evil:
And how ironic, the magazine is titled "Fishlove".
That's cruel.
There are some seriously sick sick puppies in this world :x :x .
We can only hope that the "so called people" that do these things to fish come back as a fish in another life & have to endure the same treatment as the fish by one of these sicko's. Now that would be real Karma :twisted: :twisted: .
that is a sad thing to do
