Outrage over China magician's synchronised fish
BEIJING, Feb 17, 2011 (AFP) - A Chinese magician has sparked
outrage from animal rights groups with a trick in which he gets
goldfish to swim in sync, prompting China's state broadcaster to
cancel an encore performance Thursday.
Animal rights activists cried foul over the stunt, saying Fu had
likely fed the fish magnets -- or implanted them in the fish -- so
they could be dragged around their tank from underneath.
They said the trick amounted to animal cruelty.
Hundreds of millions of viewers watched Fu perform the trick two
weeks earlier on CCTV's Spring Festival Gala, China's most watched
programme of the year.
The trick -- -- involves six fish in a
shallow tank on a covered table, who swim in formation at Fu's
command.
Fu has so far refused to reveal the secret.
"My fish," he wrote on his microblog, are "living happily".
But his assurances have failed to quell the controversy.
Hi huhut,
