Political Humor

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.
