The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking the Detroit Red Wings to punish any fans who throw octopuses on the ice during the final games at Joe Louis Arena.
PETA asked for the punishment in a letter to the Red Wings that was obtained by ESPN's Craig Custance. Custance posted a copy of the letter on his Facebook pageand quoted it in a Tweet:
