MAN WANTS TO SUE RED WINGS AND NHL ON BEHALF OF OCTOPUS

A. Isaac Senior Editor

On a local Detroit radio show, a man named Patrick Green of San Antonio says he plans on suing the Red Wings and the NHL for the mistreatment of the dead octopus that is thrown on the ice.

Its pretty amusing at how kooky this guy is. Sean Beligian of WDFN 1130AM had to restrain himself from calling this guy an absolute nutjob.

The whole clip is here.

The clip is long so here is the main excerpt…

This is the letter he sent to the Red Wings. Even though he included his personal information in this letter, I’ve decided to block it out

As a citizen of the United States, I consider the octopus tradition as a
sign of degenerate minds. It is disgusting and turns my stomache.
The natural environment of the octopus is the ocean. The reason for
its capture by fishermen is for human consumption only, not human
playtime. To use the body of an octopus in such a manner is to devalue
the animal kingdom. If the National Hockey League’s policy was to win
only 4 games, would fans toss the bodies of dogs and cats on the ice,
since they only have four legs?
An animal is an animal. Noone owns the ocean. Noone owns the octopus.
It is every persons responsibility to protect animals who are being shown extreme disrespect.
It is my intention, if the Animal Control Division fails to send
me a written promise to begin voluntarily to vigorously enforce the
Detroit City Code, to file a lawsuit against them. My intention is to
have a court issue an order to force the Animal Control Division to do
its job.
If I do not receive a response to this letter by Friday June 6, 2008, via my e-mail address of:

I will file the lawsuit, against the Animal Control Division
And the Detroit Red Wings, for their complicity in this crime.

Sincerely,

Patrick Greene
