PETA, the people who don't like Tierney's blog because she wears fur, have struck again. This time it's not red paint on a fur coat or blocking whalers with their rubber rafts. No, this time it's all about the goldfish. To promote business, a bar was holding weekly goldfish races. The goldfish were put into long troughs of water to race each other. Spray bottles of water were used to squirt the fish to help them swim faster. The night quickly became the most popular for the bar. Everyone loved cheering the fish along and betting on their favorite to win. The workers were very careful transferring the fish to the trough, fed them and cleaned their tanks. PETA got wind of the races and demanded a boycott of the bar. Quote: Fish are tiny animals and this can be a terrifying experience for them. They have a very developed nervous system and to feel pain. End Quote. Someone did report seeing one of the fish being stabbed with a cocktail straw and another one being swallowed alive, but the manager said this was bunk. Everyone loved the fish. The bar has stopped the races and replaced the event with beer pong instead. How come they can play that game at the carnival where you throw the ping pong ball into the fish bowl?
