Shreveport, LA (STNews) - PETA is protesting the alarming numbers of fish being plucked from local waters by tiny bare hands, then choked and eaten, starting with the fins. 

One woman was seen wearing nothing but a sandwich board that read, “Stop the senseless strangulation of fish!” 

Wildlife and Fish authorities observed the kids are apparently skipping out on the cleaning and cooking process altogether.  One health official suggested that with all the health warnings lately, children aren’t getting near the levels of mercury in their system they once got, creating massive cravings for the fish and accounting for the unusual method of reelin’ ‘em in.

The week’s almost over.  Your weekend plans?
