PETA To The Nashville Predators, Please Stop Throwing Catfish On The Ice

from Eric Stromgren of The Tennessean,

PETA wants Predators fans to stop throwing catfish onto the ice after goals.

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent a letter to the Predators on Wednesday and offered to ship 1,000 plastic fish in exchange for prohibiting the practice.

While the practice of throwing a catfish is not a routine after every goal at Predators at Bridgestone Arena, a catfish was thrown out after Ryan Ellis' goal during the second period in Tuesday night's 4-3 shootout win over Los Angeles.

The tradition goes back more than a decade as a Music City response to Detroit's octopus.
