Drinking Nemo

Winters are long and cold on the
Canadian prairie. Maybe that's why tropical fish are popular drinks in Calgary,
Alberta.
Animal lover David Beart was shocked last Friday when he watched
six men belly up to the bar at Booker's BBQ Grill & Crab Shack (search)
— and gulp down an equal number of live goldfish, each drowning in a shot glass
full of booze.
"I was quite horrified by the whole ordeal," Beart, 36, told
the Toronto Globe and Mail. "These are living beings."
Outraged, Beart put
his account of the incident up on his Web site, ThePetProfessor.com, and informed the local
humane society, the health inspector and city and provincial
authorities.
"What does this do for tourism?" he asked rhetorically. "When
people come here, they'll think, 'What kind of redneck losers live here?'"
