What are you opinions about tattoing, dying fish or painting fish with hearts on them!

Let's try this, painted dogs, cool or cruel? Painted cats, cool or cruel? Painted babies, cool or cruel? If you have the common sense to realize that you would never dye your dog, cat, son, or daughter, WHY ON EARTH would you consider painting your fish? It should be illegal, but somehow, it isn't.

EDIT: Pockethotrod, they DO use needles! Not lasers! First, they strip the fishes' slime coats with acid, then they INJECT the dye with NEEDLES, then the send them into a vat with thousands of other weakened fish where they attempt to synthesize the slime coat. This entire process stresses the fish, leading to only about a 40% survival rate, if that.
EDIT 2: It isn't just hearts, it's polka dots, shapes, messages, words, symbols, numbers, and many are now showing up with Asian words tattooed on them.
EDIT 3: Seriously, if you think dying and tattooing fish is cool, you should try an acid bath to remove your skin, getting dyed with used needles (transmitting any blood borne diseases), and then soaked in some liquid to "help your skin grow back".

I saw them today in a local fish store, and I could not believe that. I saw dots, stripes and all sorts of things. I think that this is horrible. There needs to be some sort of law passed that will prevent this from happeneing. It can't be good for the fish's health. I am against this!

Horrible idea, why would anyone even think of such a terrible thing?
Fish have a special coating over their scales as well, so chances are the chemicals would kill it. People should leave them the way nature intended, kthnx.

I've never heard of this, but from the previous answers, especially soop's, I disagree with this practice, completely.

I think it is a terrible practise but as long as people buy them it will continue.
