Florida mullet event peeves PETA

The annual mullet-toss competition (involving the fish variety, not the awful 1980s haircut) at the Mullet Smoke-Off fundraiser on Florida’s Terra Ceia Island has attracted animal rights grandstanders, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, which condemned the practice of throwing dead fish into washtubs and wheelbarrows. “You’d think they’d have other, more important things to deal with,” opined one event organizer.
