WTF.

wtf

The lump, which did not seem to distress the fish in any way, was removed along with one of its eyes.

nice.

Sometimes I think the BBC are either putting these stories in for comedic value, or they are really scraping the barrel.

So they half blinded an animal in no distress or discomfort because some people found it ugly?

I'd have told them to **** off

Yeah exactly... that's just cruel. Imagine if they tried to do that do a monkey or lion in a zoo everyone would be up in arms...

Also surely a "ugly fish" would be more interesting than a normal fish.

How odd

This is just crazy....Usually in Nigeria the fish will be eaten by staff after several complaints.

Serioulsly, they did more harm to the fish.

Yep, I'm sure the fish really liked having its eye removed :\.

I'm laughing so much at that, are ugly fish a reoccurring problem in Nigeria?

Ugly fish, ulgy fish what are they feeding you?

I bet this story is far less interesting than it sounds. What probably happened was that they had to remove the eye for health reasons and decided to remove the bump at the same time.

No not really but it will save plenty of monies used for surgery...Can you imagine the controversey it would generate if a fish was given surgery in Nigeria.

You do know what you call a fish when you remove the eye...

A fsh

Sorry!!!!!

I think the throwing in of coins is probably what caused this in the first place.

Probably wasn't a growth, it was a black eye from a 2p :/

You shouldn't joke, what if your mother was a fish and was made to have her eye removed?

Well then he'd be a fish too and wouldn't be posting here....

Crazy. If the fish being ugly "upsets" them, how about they treat their own emotional problems, instead of crippling a poor innocent creature :mad:

There has to be a reality TV show in there somewhere, Pet Cosmetic Surgery. The next big thing?
