There are few things that annoy me as much as PETA, and it seems they've somehow managed to out-do themselves with this one.
Their new campaign (shockingly) does not involve naked women, but is trying to reach out to the kiddos by demanding that fish should now be known as Sea Kittens.
Yes...SEA KITTENS.
PETA have had enough of the killing and torturing of these poor Sea Kittens - and they're calling for the end of fishing.
It's high time that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) stop
allowing our little sea kitten friends to be tortured and killed. Who'd
want to hurt a sea kitten anyway?!
Sea kittens are just as intelligent (not to mention adorable) as dogs and cats, and they feel pain just as all animals do.
Please take just a few moments to send an e-mail to H. Dale Hall,
the director of the FWS, asking him to stop promoting the hunting of
sea kittens (otherwise known as "fishing").
PETA are hoping to save the Sea Kittens by helping out with their PR, and by letting you all know what assholes you've been by eating and "hunting" fish. Fish feel pain, goddammit. PAIN!
And did you know fish are affectionate? And that they like to be pet?
Like their surface-dwelling
cousins, the land kittens, sea kittens enjoy being petted. Their lack
of arms makes it difficult for them to pet back, but they often gently
rub against each other as a sign of affection.
See? They're exactly like cats.So really, all this time you've been eating KITTEN 'n Chips, KITTEN Fingers and KITTY Cocktails.(Jerk!)
Look, I'm all for people voicing their opinions and standing up for what they believe in - but SEA KITTENS?! Maybe if PETA laid off all the gimmicks and annoying shticks people might take them more seriously.
