Peejay remembers baby turtles with their shells painted with designs in the 1950's & 60's and baby chicks & rabbits dyed different colors for Easter. I thought we outgrew this craziness in the 21st Century. Some old things seem to get reinvented.

Tattooed fish, cruel or cool?

05:31 PM CST on Monday, February 5, 2007

By Brad Woodard / 11 News

Some say it with flowers, others with diamonds and fine jewelry.

But at City Pets on Beechnut they say love with fish.

Actually, parrot fish that have been tattooed and imported to the U.S. from Asia.

Some call them valentines with fins.

The obvious question: how do you tattoo a fish?

“I have no idea. Must be injected. Probably with a needle. I have no idea,” said David Nguyen who works at Pet City.

While the staff at that store may not know much about the tattooing process, they do know they’re popular.

So much so you might say they’re swimming off the shelves.

But some question whether the tattoo is good for the fish.

“I have no idea,” said Nguyen.

“We really recommend people don’t get a pet based on a fad. And that’s what this is. When the newness is gone and the joy is over, you still have a pet for which you have a lifetime responsibility,” said Heidi Brasher with the Houston SPCA.

Is it cool or cruel?

After all we’re talking about a fish.

“Imposing our will and having a nice little message isn’t probably in the best interest of the fish,” said Brasher.

The HSPCA, which clearly isn’t in love with the idea, says fish should be treated as pets not billboards.

"Credibility in immigration policy can be summed up in one sentence: Those who should get in, get in; those who should be kept out, are kept out; and those who should not be here will be required to leave."

"...for the system to be credible, people actually have to be deported at the end of the process."

US Congresswoman Barbara Jordan (D-TX)

Testimony to the House Immigration Subcommittee, February 24, 1995
