PETA wants fish to be referred to as “sea kittens“, cute little animals that like to snuggle and be petted. As always there is a cutesy PR gimmick for attention:
“The activist animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked school officials to change the name of Spearfish High School to “Sea Kitten High School.” The new name would “reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake,” the organization said in a letter to Steve Morford, Spearfish High School principal.”
As moonbat political causes go, this one is aimed right at the children. There is an interactive website where kids can read bedtime stories about the sea kittens:
Children can also build their very own sea kitten. Give it some cool sunglasses or a bowl to drink water out of.
Ignore the fish-having-gills thing. This is anthropomorphism after all and liberals love incorporating the world of fantasy into reality. Also ignore the fact that cats don’t like water and eat fish. Those are merely minor details.
Moonbats also love using the guilt card. Need someone to push for a cause? Indoctrinate some kids and send them home to Mom and Dad.
Of course it is easy to protest the killing and eating of animals when you are one of the richest charities in the world. Being in the business of Third World Development Denial needs lots of funding, much more then needed to give the entire world potable water.
A full stomach makes it easier to fight for the cause of sea kittens so pass the Chilean Sea Bass Muffie, I want to be well-fed for the PETA protest this evening.

You’re both just so funny, aren’t you? Not. When the seas all die off you will be sorry then.[George, you really have no comedic talent whatsoever. It's a good thing you're such a tool, or your presence here would be pointless. ~ JO]

George needs some nap time. Think he would like to sleep with the sea kittens?

Sea kitten fry at my house Saturday. Hush puppies, slaw and brownies will also be provided.
For fun and games, we can play kick the tail of the Hippie. If someone would pick George up on their way over, it would save me time having to locate and tie one up.

Hey when the critters in the sea die off then there will be plenty of room to swim and surf without being eaten by a pesky shark.
On a related note. I was watching a news segment that was showing how they test the engines of airplanes to see how they deal with birds getting sucked into them. They throw chickens into the engines. I guess they are the Colonel’s rejects. Boy were the feathers flying.

Actually, in the old days (50’s) they used live chickens for the engine testing, then this organization called PETA decided it was cruel and forced engine mfgrs. to euthanize the chickens, which lead to erronious results, so the chickens had to be frozen. Which had more consequenses from PETA. As it turns out only non-consumable, non-wild birds can be used in testing. What they use today I don’t know, but after what just happened in NY, I think some more testing is in order. Maybe the libs could use all those aborted fetus’, will be a shame at the baby bbq though.

UnAmerican? US?
You’re the one who sounds unAmerican. You sound like you’re French- and not the kind from Louisiana or even Canada, but from the country who waves white flags a lot and where the women are hairy legged.

Sure, you say that, but what will you say about that when a PETA member eats his own poo? What then?

My daughter wants to know why PETA thinks it’s ok to eat kittens but not fish?
