# Fish Saved From Art. COPENHAGEN, Denmark (AP) - Ten goldfish were swimming
safely in their blender aquariums after power to a controversial art show
was disconnected. The display at the Trapholt Art Museum in west Denmark
had let visitors decide whether to turn on 10 blenders, each containing a
live goldfish and water. Police ordered the power cut after two fish were
killed at Friday's opening and animal rights activists filed a complaint.
Authorities launched an investigation after 5 more fish were killed when
the power was apparently left on over the weekend. The museum replaced the
fish. http://www.infobeat.com/stories/cgi/story.cgi?id=2564284714-b5f
: Have you mutilated any living entities for artistic purposes lately? Have
you been mutilated for someone else's artistic expression? Is the best art
deadly? Are you more artistically rendered by aliens/deities/demons/robots?
