Tattooing Fish

Singapore is now exporting … tattooed fish!

At Steve’s Wonderful World of Pets in Williamsville, N.Y., owner Steve Lane is selling tattooed fish for the first time. Some have polka dots, some have stripes and others even have pink hearts.

The fish are imported from Singapore. Lane believes they have to be restrained and then tattooed with a tattoo gun.

Four of the fish were brought and taken to the SPCA for their opinion.

Spokeswoman Gina Browning says the practice is not illegal as far as she knows, but they don’t condone it. "Morally and ethically what we’re looking at is incorrect. Any animal lover would agree, it’s so unnatural," says Browning.
