Japan theme park froze thousands of dead fish into skating rink

It got an icy reception

A theme park in Japan called Space World has embedded thousands of dead fish into the ice of a skating rink.

They closed the rink after the display caused uproar.

The park froze over 5,000 fish into the ice rink as part of an attraction called Freezing Port.

They have now decided to unfreeze the fish and hold a memorial for them.

Why would Japan freeze 5000 fish into their ice rink, who thought that was a good idea...
