PETA May Buy Penfield Lighthouse For Fish Empathy Project
Posted by Dave Blount at July 27, 2007 2:46 PM
The 51-foot-high Penfield Reef Lighthouse off the coast of Fairfield, Connecticut is up for sale — and PETA might buy it.
The objective would be to transform this resource for fishermen into the headquarters for their "Fish Empathy Project," featuring a memorial to the countless fish that are callously murdered so that anthropocentric humans can devour their flesh. Also, there will be a cafe serving faux fish sticks, in case anyone who just happens to be swimming past the treacherous reef gets a craving for some artificial food.
Michael Prescott, manager of PETA's fish empathy campaigns, assures us that synthetic fish sticks "taste pretty good." He also shares this interesting fact:
Fish are interesting, quizzical animals with unique personalities.
Take for example the fish in the old StarKist commercials; he had a personality — and the Little Mermaid was downright charismatic.
But I forgot, PETA is completely on the level about this stuff. These are the people who believe that fish use tools.
