Save the Sea Kittens

[Aliantha]

Have you eaten your share of sea kitten today?

PETA have a new campaign to improve the image of fish in order to promote awareness of all the cruelty done to fish by man.

Sure we all know PETA are a bunch of greenie type weirdos who like to go to extreme lengths to get their point across, but please, can't they leave the children out of it???

Have a look at the website this quote comes from and you'll see what I mean.

People don't seem to like fish. They're slithery and slimy, and they have eyes on either side of their pointy little heads—which is weird, to say the least. Plus, the small ones nibble at your feet when you're swimming, and the big ones—well, the big ones will bite your face off if Jaws is anything to go by.

Of course, if you look at it another way, what all this really means is that 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. You've done enough damage, buddy. We've got it from here. And we're going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it's time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?

Ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to stop promoting sea kitten hunting.
