Just When You Thought PETA Couldn’t Get Any Dumber..
Posted on January 9, 2009
they go and prove you wrong
A CAMPAIGN to rename fish as “sea kittens” in order to improve their image has been ridiculed by the Federal Opposition.
Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the “sea kitten” name as part of its push to restrict fishing.
“Nobody would hurt a sea kitten!” the group says on its website.
“People don’t seem to like fish.
“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.”
The website features images of fish with cats’ whiskers and ears.
I’m not sure whether to laugh or rub my temples and get an aspirin. PETA’s sea kitten website here. You really have to go over and see it. You can even create your own sea kitten!
Oh, in other PETA news, they have found different ways to use blow up dolls. Yes, those types. I wonder how many Veggiemites raised their hands when asked if they had one?
Wandering the Interwebz, I see Captain Ed has a post up on the sea kittens subject, and he is prepared to call PETA a racist organization come January 21.
Update: Heh!

from the site:
“Contrary to popular belief, the technical term for sea kitten offspring is “baby sea kitties,” not “caviar.” Many sea kittens build nests where they can raise their baby sea kitties, and others collect small rocks off the sea floor to make widdle hiding pwaces where they can rest.”
I love how they can just redefine something arbitrarily and act like it is now fact.
from the site:
“A University of Edinburgh study found that sea kittens can retain information that they learned up to 11 months earlier, which makes them cuter and smarter than the president of the United States”
Do you think they will remove this “fact” in 10 days?
I’ll start calling them “sea kittens” when they start referring to fetuses as babies.
Just how stupid can PETA get with this poppycock? They must be stuck on this stupid theory that all life on earth came crawling out of the ocean as some dooy looking fish HEY EVEN THE FISH KNOW THEY NEVER EVER HAD THIS STUPID LITTLE FEET THE DARWINISTS SHOW IN THEIR STUPID SIGNS
I don’t know about sea kittens, but I do like catfish.
So can we call it ocean pussy? Is it now going to be tuna pussy? Or tuna kitten? Can I have a tuna cat sandwich? I think I am gonna have some pussy and chips for lunch while watching sponge bob and patrick the star pussy on TV.
After words I will go kittening at the lake with my son. I dont know…something smells kitteny about all this to me. Sounds like a kittening expedition to get publicity.
OMG what about catfish? Will they be cat kittens now?
Sorry, Matt. Unfertilized “sea kitten” eggs are babies and should not be eaten; but growing, developing human embryos are not and may be killed at will.
And remember, sea kittens are friends, not food.
I’m going to commission some stickers that say “Here Kitty Kitty Kitty” for people to put on their fishing boats. Maybe tiny letters that say “Screw you PeTA!” Any interest?
I saw this on their website a few months ago. Any respect I had for PETA is completely gone, not that I had much to begin with. These people are just plain nuts.
