A sick idea!

In Japan, a theme park called Space World thought up the weird idea to create a skating rink with lots of frozen fish in it. The people would skate over lots of dead fish - for their entertainment. See for yourself:

Following public protests in Japan itself, the theme park has now closed the rink temporarily whilst the fish are removed. It tried to justify the idea by saying that the fish were already dead when put in the ice rink. But who would want to skate over a load of dead fish? The idea seems bizarre and unnecessary.

Thank goodness public reaction had this "attraction" closed. Otherwise, other theme parks might have copied the idea.

Hello LCP,

I heard about this on media. A park representative has announced the removal of all fish. Meanwhile, the park will be closed until December. I don't understand the idea of fish half-submerged in the ice while skating - that can potentially cause harm.

Blessed be,
Lepus

Oh wow. They should have just used fake imitation crafts/plastics, but the real thing is really creepy and bizarre.

For those who eat fish it is a dreadful waste of food. That could only happen in a decadent society! It's said that what harm could it do? The fish were already dead. Okay, then why wasn't that food donated to the poor instead?? Or even made into pet food?

For those for whom compassion is strong, it is a very sad thing to see hundreds of wasted lives under the surface of an ice rink.
How dreadful. I am glad the public said a resounding "NO" to this!
