Cold Ones & Gold Ones: San Diego Animal Rights Activists Are Demanding Bargoers 'Stop Blowing Fish!'
Posted • February 21, 2025: Animal rights activists were recently screaming, ‘Stop Blowing Fish!’ outside a San Diego bar. Why? They were upset that bargoers were holding goldfish races. We've never heard of it either. Participants use a straw to blow bubbles at goldfish that swim in long waterways that run the length of the bar. The blowing causes the goldfish to flee and the first one to the end wins. —— “I just like fish racing. Everyone is having a great time and the fish don’t seem to mind at all,” said a local fish racing champion identified as ‘Austin.’ The protest was organized by vegan activist Justice Owens who has also launched a Change dot org campaign, demanding the bar stop the fish races. The campaign currently has 294 signatures. “This really stresses out the fish. They're sentient beings like us… They feel pain, they feel fear, and this is awful,” Owens said. —— Animal rights activists protest outside of a San Diego bar for holding goldfish races, tells the bar goers to “Stop Blowing Fish.”
They’ll literally protest anything lmao. The protesters were stationed outside a local bar which is known in the area for holding the fish races every week. “I just like fish racing. Everyone is having a great time and the fish don’t seem to mind at all,” said a local fish racing champion identified as ‘Austin.’ The protest was organized by vegan activist Justice Owens who has also launched a Change dot org campaign, demanding the bar stop the fish races. The campaign currently has 294 signatures. “This really stresses out the fish. They're sentient beings like us… They feel pain, they feel fear, and this is awful,” Owens said. —— Many posters understand wanting to protect animals but goldfish just don’t rank at the top of most people’s ‘concern’ list. They actually took the time to plan, make the signs, and then SHOW UP in person to protest this. 🤣 Seems like there are bigger 'fish' to fry. https://video.twimg.com/tweet_video/GkQ-8U1XsAA7n7R.mp4
Oh, give me a break! Protesting goldfish races while the fish are out there living their best lives—swimming, racing, maybe even enjoying the cheers. 😂 The goldfish races are at least keeping these protesters occupied so they're not blocking traffic or doing other truly disruptive activities. —— The more of these clowns we can distract with protesting "fish races" the better. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GkQ01NwXkAAFulK?format=jpg&name=medium —— Ridiculous and unserious people. Life's pretty good if your main source of frustration is someone else's drinking game. I propose goldfish racing teams in every city complete with sponsors and TV contracts. We've never considered starting goldfish racing leagues. We can only imagine that Draft Day would just be dragging a tiny net through an aquarium at the pet store. (…)
