PETA Wants To Rename Fish "Sea Kittens"

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/01/14/peta-wants-to-rename-fish_n_157836.html

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has launched a marketing campaign to rebrand fish as "sea kittens," a name the organization hopes will increase awareness and make the vertebrates more endearing to those who would eat them.

"A lot of people don't realize that fish are capable of feeling fear and pain, that they develop relationships with each other, and even show affection by gently rubbing against one another," says Ashley Byrne, PETA's sea kitten campaign co-ordinator. "Knowing that the fish sticks in the school cafeteria are really made out of tortured sea kittens makes most kids want to lose their lunch."

As a humourous entry on the sea kitten website states, "fish need to fire their PR guy-stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone."

Come on, now. That's just plain stupid. :|

They going to want chickens and turkeys to be called air kittens?

Just leave that to the mighty catfish.

Why even choose sea kittens. Why not sea puppies?

PETA, at the rate you're going, people are never going to take you seriously. First you declare war on video games for trivial reasons, and now this. Dear God...haven't you heard of a CATFISH!?

Well if we are renaming things, lets re-name peta "the people that would kill you instead of prey".. PETA is ridiculous, I love animals but I feel there is a difference between domesticated and wild when it comes down to nutrition and sustenance.

I think it is awesome. People get way too upset about PETA.duxup

Hey, we have reasons. Like why did they attack video games? And such a non-controversial one at that? I'd expect (and allow) a feminist group to claim that Cooking Mama perpetuates female stereotypes, but the PETA claim that meat-based recipes mean Mama's slicing off chicken heads? No....just.....dear God, what the hell? What about Pokemon's cockfighting battle system and animal abusin' villains? What about RPGs, which encourage progress through killing rat after rat (OK, that one's stupid)? You ever notice how Resident Evil has you shooting crows, sharks, snakes, and dogs?

thanks for the lols. That game is hilarious and surprisingly fun. Maybe because it sucks, but it's also surprisingly challenging.

I'm off to play it again. I'm weirdly hooked

.......

HAHAHAHAH

this is what americas problem is....we live with a bunch of **** who grew up with nothing but their spoiling momma and their pet, living a perfect life without any discipline.

and now they are trying to prevent the world from eating fish.

I mean seriously.

What the hell.

Then that means kittens are delicious land fish and birds are sky nachos.

Gah!!! I hate PETA, every time someone brings them up it makes me want to go punch a baby! :evil:

and I want to rename PETA "ASSHATS".....how does it feel to want?....

[QUOTE="THE_BRUTALIZER"][QUOTE="D3nnyCrane"] And we can get shirts made up that say "I love whales - they taste great!"D3nnyCrane

just when i think PETA can't possibly get any dumber and more desperate, they go and do this.

What if this has the opposite effect of making me hungry for some kittens?

I now feel bad for that battered and fried sea kitten with tarter sauce I had for dinner.

Oh wait... No I don't.

The best thing about PETA is Alicia Silverstone nude.
