> Is it the use of animals as decoration that's disturbing or is it the possibility of being in contact with dead animals, possibly hitting them with a skate. It is although I would say that for fishes there's an exception. They are commonly seen in aquariums and if they are treated correctly, I hardly think that people would complain about it. Even dissected animals have this creepy atmosphere around them that not many people like. I also don't think that people would like to see animals trapped in cages around them while eating but cat cafes are pretty much accepted. > If the fish were beneath a transparent frozen surface, do you think it would be less troubling? I think people would have enjoyed it way more than that idea with the frozen fishes. In the end I think it's seen as a disrespectful act towards the animals.
