Why would I respond hysterically?

And you've missed the main point in that PETA while they may possibly be approaching this new campaign for conservationist reasons the issue is that they're obviously targeting children (or mentally retarded adults) with their website.

My opinion is that they're not trying to conserve fish for human consumption or otherwise. My opinion is that they're suggesting we're terrible for eating them, including the indigenous communities who rely on fish as an important source of protien such as the communities in PNG who my husband has been working closely with on exactly this issue.
