TACOMA, Wash. -- The weekly gold fish races at a Tacoma bar are canceled after it received complaints from animal rights activists.
Every Tuesday night the Harmon Tap Room would feature races in which cheap feeder fish from a pet store were "raced" down two 8-foot troughs. Racers guided the fish with squirt bottles.

Animal rights activists, those wonderful guys who love wolves, grizzlies and all things deadly and harmful, but hate human beings

I wonder if those jerk activists realize what the alternative is for a FEEDER goldfish?
Guess we’ll have to petition so that anybody who has a carnivorous fish in their fish tank only feeds them lettuce and parsley...

I’d like to stick some of those PETA people in a bear den at spring time and see how much they like maama Griz when she’s hungry and cubbing.

Does this mean that goldfish racing will not be an Olympic event?

The American culture is stuck on stupid.
Exactly how does it harm goldfish to squirt them with water while they swim?
