Piercing a pet fish. It sounds sick, doesn’t it? Some kind of animal abuse?
Maybe it is, but as humans we have always modified our pets with everything from identification tattoos and brands, to cosmetic surgery such as ear cropping, tail docking, and toe amputation (ie. the honest name for “declawing”). Many modern animal enthusiasts decry the traditions as barbaric, while advocates insist it allows them to maintain a closer bond with their pet and thus the pet lives a longer and happier life

US network NBC has dropped a scene showing the breast of an elderly woman from the next episode of its hit medical drama ER.

NBC said although the scene was "appropriate and in context" it could not ignore the "atmosphere" created by Jackson's stunt on Sunday.
