Fish Racing

• Goldfish are complex social animals who thrive in schools and can live for decades. 

• They can: 

  • remember for months or years 

  • learn and problem-solve

  • feel pain and fear

• Bar-goers blow at these fish through narrow straws in heated competition

  • CO2, which can burn and suffocate the fish, is blown into the tanks via human breath

Goldfish Racing is a cruel, outdated, and oppressive bar game that reduces living, feeling animals to party props for human entertainment.

In these events, goldfish, who are highly social animals that thrive in calm and clean environments, are forced to race down narrow tanks while humans blow through straws to push them forward. The loud, chaotic setting terrifies them, and the CO2 from human breath can suffocate them.

Goldfish are capable of living up to 40 years when in proper care, yet in these events, they often die within days, or even minutes.

In some cases, the losing bargoers are swallowed alive by participants as a "punishment," dying slowly and painfully in stomach acid. It's not just horrifying, it's torture.
