Has anyone picked up on this latest PETA campaign? They are trying to get fish renamed as 'sea kittens', the idea being that people will not want to eat a 'sea kitten'.

Here is the logic for the radical name change:

'Would people think twice about ordering fish sticks if they were called sea kitten sticks? Would sea kitten soufflé be a hot seller at the local seafood restaurant? Does fillet o' sea kitten sound even remotely appetizing? Learn more about the new campaign to save fish by changing their name.'

So c'mon folks - stop hurting those cuddly little 'sea kittens' with your Inqusitorial hooks, lines and sinkers. Remember that 'sea kittens' have feelings too. :mad:

What a load of tripe. The depletion of our fishing stocks is a serious issue but 'Mickey Mouse' does not stop people from using rat poison. Gimme a break.
 
PETA is perhaps the biggest laughing joke of all time and to think they pull in celebs to back them in so many campaigns is scary.

Another extreme greeny group that needs serious mental help.

Cats and kittens are the biggest danger to our Australian wildlife, so I for one would hate to have majestic fish lumped in with this smelly dangerous species.

They do have some stupid ideas. Were they the ones who were against mulesing sheep? Yep because fly strike is so much more humane.

The fur thing I can understand because, after all, apart from Liberace who needs to wear dead Russian creatures? Plus they had all those naked models which was kinda cool even though I never understood why they had to be naked?

GG - I agree. Feral cats and foxes have lead to half of Victoria's small marsupials being decimated. Horrible little beasts, cats.
 
You will find PETA will take video footage of the most gruesome and cruel acts in the world and say "this is standard practice" for the industry (like skinning live animals, torturing cows at slaughterhouses etc..).

But of course 1 would only have to been in the industry or see it 1st hand to understand thats not the case.
