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.

Harmon Tap Room should tell PETA to take a hike. As soon as the fish get “organized” and protest their employment at the bar, which involves a lot less getting eaten than their day jobs do, then PETA can step in with lawyers and finance the case.
Otherwise, they can go play elsewhere.

Darksheare gets the credit for that one - I'm just an accessory after the fact.
This version, though, I found all by myself.

Where do they get the jockeys?

Guess the next target will be fly fishing.
Although I never really figured out why the fly was dumb enough to bite that hook and it really takes a bunch of them to make a meal. Takes a lot of bread crumbs also.
