China's synchronised goldfish controversy...

Chinese animal rights groups are urging TV stations not to show a magic trick of goldfish swimming in formation.

They believe the performance could involve the use of magnets and therefore harm the fish.

Campaigners want the act dropped from variety shows to be broadcast on Thursday to mark the end of the Chinese New Year holiday.

The magician at the centre of the controversy, Fu Yandong, denies he harms the fish. More...

1. Burglar killed goldfish because he didn’t want any witnesses!!!
2. This is what you don't see when you have shark's fin soup...
3. China and dogs; to eat or not to eat...
