Goldfishgate: Danish art director aquitted of animal cruelty charges

The director whose controversial "go ahead, puree the goldfish" art happening pissed off animal rights activists is once again a free man:

Judge Preben Bagger ruled Monday that Meyer did not have to pay the fine because the fish were killed "instantly" and "humanely." (…) During the two-day trial, a zoologist and a representative of blender manufacturer Moulinex said the fish likely died within a second after the blender started. It was not known who turned the blenders on.
