Death by Dyeing

Paper Summary:

The paper relates that people juice fish to enhance sales, to create yet another "modern" trend and to continue the concept of superiority long held by the human race. The paper traces the beginnings of this practice of juicing fish, also called "painting" or "dyeing". The paper blames the dyed fish market's profitability on naive, ignorant customers and merciless businesses. The paper asserts that one must look at fish not as specimens to toy with, but as real, living creatures.

From the Paper:

""One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish." Dr. Seuss was ahead of his time. Who would have known that almost two generations later, people would actually create these multicolored fish? But at what cost? Dr. Seuss was a trend setter and from his rhythmic notion of colored fish, millions of people are causing the untimely demise of numerous fish through a process commonly known as juicing. It seems people juice fish for only three reasons: to enhance sales, to create yet another "modern" trend and to continue the concept of superiority long held by the human race."
