The recent Frankfurt Book Fair saw this rather unusual living advert – little flyers attached to flies. They were released into the Book Fair to delight (or irritate) the worthies of the book world who were there to wheel and deal. What are the ethics of this? Where should it stop? Here, or with the release of a skunk?

enough to convert me to the flies’ rights movement. Did they have ethical approval? and what did they do with them afterwards – carefully untie the labels and liberate the flies?
just wierd
