this is so sad... i want to cry...

... Why?

 

[loraxchick]

it is actually no different than going to the natural history museum and seeing thousands of "stuffed" varieties of fish.
for an educational purpose, i think this is a unique idea and potentially very valuable...especially as the species are local, gives folks from the area a taste of what is in their "backyard"...this could be a valuable aspect in informing the public about the importance of conservation and ecology.
i for one think it is interesting! it's not like it is telling people to do this in their own home. dont underestimate the importance of public education!!!

In your opinion? I think it would be an asset to a colection to have an area like this, although i have not visited this place, it looks like fun. I don't know how this area was created but if it was done properly it would be ifne in my opinion.

That's pretty cool and sad.

I think it's pretty neat actually. As loraxchick said, it's really no different than seeing stuffed animals in a museum.

thats wierd!! its amazing what these so called " artists" get kicks out of, no worse than taxadermy (sp) tho i spose, dont think i would be in any hurry to have it anywhere near me tho, not even if it was a much loved collection of fish.... just my opinion

I don't like it because of the outrageous amount of energy used to keep all that ice frozen, and all the fish inside frozen enough not to decompose, since people are walking in and out of that room all day. Especially when it's so much easier to get plastic models or even to preserve dead animals in their natural state inside blocks of plastic. They are more visible inside blocks of plastic, you can position them so that people can walk around them and view them from all angles, no coats necessary and no ridiculous wasting of power.

Personally I think a display of living animals is always more interesting than a display of dead animals, and we're fortunate enough that the vast majority of fish can be displayed alive without causing them suffering (this is not the case with, for example, elephants and large marine mammals which are miserable in captivity and probably should not be displayed alive.) TBH I'd be a lot more inclined to go see a public aquarium with live fish because I can then see the behavior of animals I wouldn't normally see (and some pretty fish tanks) - if I just want to see 'stills' I can see them in photos and it doesn't make that much difference, because they probably wouldn't let visitors get too close to the ice anyway.

i dont cry when i see it, and if there is some educational value from it then its ok, however i do steer clear from all the fish products in the supermarket
