Two teams stand on wooden blocks and take turns to knock their opponents off by swinging a five-foot (1.5-metre) dead eel on a rope at them, The Daily Telegraph said.The oddball antics attracted around 3,000 locals and amused tourists to the charity fundraiser.
But a single complaint by an animal rights activist has put a stop to it after claiming the bizarre sport is disrespectful to dead animals.
Let me just say this: A world that forbids hitting each other with dead eels is not the world my forefathers fought for.
