KipWellsFan Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/Art...National/Canada The 36-year-old Calgary man could not believe his eyes as he watched six young men sidle up to the bar in Booker's BBQ Grill & Crab Shack on Friday night, order goldfish shooters and one by one knock back six fish squirming in shots of booze. "I was quite horrified by the whole ordeal," said Mr. Beart, who maintains a popular pet-information website in Calgary called thepetprofessor.com. "These are living beings." "We're just not going to do it any more," Booker's manager Bruce Claypool said after a health inspector visited the downtown eatery and ordered the staff to stop serving goldfish to patrons. The establishment keeps the goldfish on hand to feed its catfish and piranhas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steff Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 I don't know much about goldfish.. but aren't they like the king of all mighty scavengers of the fish bowel and carry disease? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mreye Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 "What does this do for tourism?" Mr. Beart said. "When people come here, they'll think, what kind of redneck losers live here?" Oh s***! My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldmember Posted February 2, 2005 Share Posted February 2, 2005 yeah, i mean everyone knows they should first be taken out of water with a hook jabbed in their mouth or gills to suffocate to death. and then be cut up, skinned, battered and fried before consumption in your liquor...
