Fish-gobbler banned from circus show
Yep.............. A Fish Gobbler..
Now if you can keep them in a bowl or catch them with hooks and kill them for food, then is this any the worse ???
A Russian circus touring Australia dropped an act in which a performer swallows a live fish then regurgitates it after complaints that it was in poor taste and inhumane.
Great Moscow Circus general manager Greg Hall said the fish-gobbling part of the show was removed on Monday after the New South Wales state government informed it that the act breached animal protection laws.
The act was brought to the attention of authorities by some circus patrons who lodged official complaints about animal cruelty.
Mr Hall said similar acts were performed in circuses around the world, but that the circus would revamp the act following the complaints and not use live fish for the Australian shows.

Wow..guess the viewers are just easily disturbed then!
They are not killed.. They are swallowed and then brought back up - alive..
Guess the audiences are those who can eat the fish if purchased dead but don't want to watch the finned chaps being killed anaconda style. Or maybe its the old "fish are friends not food" school of thought!
Well then how is fishing not inhumane?
And cooking fish not inhumane?
Even eating fish not inhumane?
But using them in a circus act is inhumane???
LOL so I can kill and eat fish but I can't use a fish in a circus act.. What a funny world I live in.
ekkk, I think I'm gonna throw up.. :P
