Fish* are the new cows.

From yesterday's Daily Mail:

A woman tourist was pinned to the deck of a sightseeing boat by a 300lbs stingray after it came hurtling out of the sea as she cruised off the Florida Keys. Jenny Hausch, 40, was knocked down by the spotted eagle ray, which torpedoed out of the water and slammed into the middle of her chest just after she took a photo of it.

She was trapped and gasping for air under its 8ft wide body for three to four minutes as her three young children screamed from the back of the boat.

From today's Metro:

Texan Jason Kresse, 29, and two crew members were fishing for red snapper in the early hours of Monday morning when the 8ft-long beast, weighing around 375lb, jumped aboard. It was reportedly rushing to feed on fish guts the fishermen had thrown over the side, 50 miles out to sea, when it suddenly 'hit the side of the boat' and 'ended up landing on the back [of it]'.

The shark was thrashing around so much the crew could not manage to free it to put in back in the sea.

From CapitalBay.com a couple of weeks ago:

A dolphin weighing between 600 and 700 pounds jumped onto the deck of a boat, injuring a woman in South Florida.

Isles of Capri Fire spokesman Keith Perry says a charter boat captain called 911 Sunday afternoon after the dolphin jumped on the boat and landed on one of his passengers. The woman suffered a sprained ankle. Her name was not available.**

Spotter's Badge to Pavlov's Cat for that last one.

* I'm not sure if sharks or stingrays are 'fish' in the narrower sense of the term, but hey. I know dolphins aren't, they are mammals.

** No surprises there. Imagine going through life being forced to answer "Yes" when every drunken chat up merchant asks if you are available.
