PETA Demands Fish Be Called "Sea Kittens"

PETA's quest to make the world safe for seafood has inspired a new extreme of guffaw-inducing self-parody:
Radical international animal rights group PETA has launched its most bizarre campaign yet, demanding fish be renamed "sea kittens".
PETA - People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals - believes calling fish sea kittens will make sea food less appealing.
It wants to change the image of fish as slimy and slithery creatures by claiming they are similar to cuter, more popular animals. "Would people think twice about ordering fish sticks if they were called sea kitten sticks?" PETA asked on its website.
The sea kittens campaign is targeted at children, which is typical of militant moonbats, and of PETA in particular. Here's a memento from a previous kiddy campaign — comic books intended to turn kids against their folks for devouring the flesh of murdered fish:

PETA even offers a book of sea kitten stories for moonbats to read to their offspring at bedtime. An example:
Tony the Trout is the smartest Sea Kitten in his school. Already litter-trained at 2 months old, Tony went on to double-major in neuroscience and environmental studies at Clamford University, eventually graduating with honors.
When Tony is caught and fed to a precocious young child who, having eaten one mercury-filled sea kitten too many, falls to the bottom of his class, the irony is not lost on him.
Now we know what future generations will be raised on, after classic fairy tales have been shoved down the memory hole for being politically incorrect.
Whether PETA's propaganda keeps real kittens from poking their paws in the fishbowl in hopes of a catch remains to be seen.

Maybe someone should tell these folks that Disney cartoons are not documentaries.

I'm more than happy to refer to moonbats as "pond-scum" - do I get any points for that?

I love Catfish. Sea Kittens actually sounds pretty tasty

Just stopping in to say THANK YOU AMERICA!!
MUCH of what has gone wrong in America is the fault of no one but Americans themselves. Walmart and Best Buy and all the other chain stores didn't force Americans to shop there. They aren't evil coroportaions who brainwashed you into shopping there. Americans DECIDED that they cared more about getting as much as they could for the cheapest prices than supporting their local economy.
I live in the Netherlands. We have very few chains there. Everyone shops locally. And yes, that means things are more expensive and people have less material goods. But their money STAYS WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITY. As a result, they don't have many super rich people, instead MANY make a good living.
Americans were told "If you just keep spending money, that will keep our economy going." Just no one told them that it matters HOW you spend your money. Large chains have large law firms that get them out of paying taxes, whereas small stores don't. Large chains keep their money overseas with less stringent banking laws, and outsource as much labor as possible, a small store doesn't. You also LOVE to shop online, giving away dollars to Thailand and New Zealand and wherever else those net companies are based out of so you can spoil your fat, tv and video game addicted children as much as possible.
A dollar to Walmart goes right to the Caymans. A dollar to Ed's Hardware goes back into the town Ed lives in.
But YOU thought having more stuff made your country the best. So Americans DECIDED to get credit card after credit card, and to spend student loan money on spring break and X-boxes. Unlike in the Netherlands, where debt and credit cards are stigmatized.
Polls by the London Times, The Economist, the AP News, AND the BBC all show that us Dutch were showed to be among the least concerned in the world about the current economic crisis. And living here, it's true. OUR businesses and people have been saving our money and shopping locally while YOU'VE been buying everything on credit at bargain chain stores. Now who's in debt to Chinese banks for billions of dollars? NOT US!!!
And thanks to your own stupidity and greed, right now the world is seeing one of the largest transfers of wealth in recent history. Investors and bankers can't get their money out of your economy and into ours fast enough, along with Iceland, that other credit loving materialistic culture. The fact of the matter is, your way doesn't work, our way does. You're all crying about the End of Days, and we're doing just fine. People are becoming increasingly hestitatnt to invest and bank with America, because you jackasses can't handle your money, and have squandered away entirely one of the largest accumulations of wealth in the history of the world.
As a result, the Netherlands might actually come out of this situtation on TOP, as more and more international money comes pouring in every day to a country where people actually are actually RESPONSIBLE.
Have fun standing in line in soup kitchens! Hope that DVD player at 30% off was worth your entire country's economic standing.
Us Dutch are laughing ALL THE WAY TO THE BANK!
Thanks again for your money, we're happy to have it!! Don't worry, we'll put it to MUCH better use than you did.

lets see... that means catfish have kittens?
the kids are going to be confused...
and on top of it... take a trout, put it in salt water and see what happens.
tony trout must not actually be that smart, he is dead from being in salt water... poor little decicated fish... destroyed by peta putting fresh water fish into salt water.
i wonder if they are going to point out that the childs mercury comes from world saving compact flourescent bulbs?

Hmmm. A troll posting off-topic. I don't think he's a Dutchman, either.
Anyway, over at American Thinker in the comments section for this, was an actual, live moonbat caught in the wild, enthusiastically defending the sea-kitten demand. It was pretty funny. I pictured the guy as the hippie teacher from Beavis and Butthead.

So how's that Muslim infestation treating you, Dutchmen? I take it the Islamic males aren't too pleased with your society's support of open drug use and prostitution.

Oh, and how's that unemployment rate looking? WE have one of the lowest in the word, and we've seen one of the lowest changes in unemployment rates than any other nation since the economic crisis hit. Those small ompanies that don't take out credit and whose CEOs didn't spend all their money on monstrous bonuses for themselves are weathering these economic times quite nicely.
It's great to be Dutch!
Again, thanks for your money!

Who cleans fish in a suit and tie, anyway? I think the ACLU should sue PETA for encouraging gender stereotypes. That'd be a real hoot in court.

Once the muzzies take over being Dutch will mean praying to Allah 5 times a day or having your head removed then stuffed into a DUTCH OVEN (among Muzzies, Mein Kampf is a best seller).

Dutch,
I Guess you would have a low unemployement if you were allowed to sell drugs and be a prostatute. Go back to you cave troll and take another hit off that BONG.
I heard this on the radio this morning and I soon as I did my dinner plans have changed to see food.

I'd rather slash my eyeballs with a rusty spear than spend one minute in that hell hole of a place called the Nether-regions (Netherlands). The only good to come out of the socialist crap heap was Goldmember.

Problem is they only count unemployed if they are ACTIVELY seeking work. Trouble is 50% of the country is hooked on heroin. Their parks are filled with used needles.

Dear Dutch Troll:
With the One and his ilk running thing, money will soon be worth less (or, come to think of it, worthless), so laugh all the way to the bank in 3 years when it takes a wheelbarrow full of kronars to go grocery shopping. Idjit.
ON TOPIC...
Funny how PETA doesn't mention that you can't use tofu or seaweed as bait. Far from kittens, all game fish are voracious (sometimes cannibalistic) predators. I would posit that guppies and minnows probably feel different about there being one less bass in the lake...

Excellent point Hiram. Yeah, it sounds simplistic, but, animals eat animals; and we can't? I guess if a shark shouldn't be eaten, then the shark shouldn't be eating me either. LOL we need to let the sharks know.

Lasagna, I completely missed the guy cleaning a fish in a suit and tie. LOL what was the artist thinking? He certainly put a lot of time into the hat, though. Sheer goofiness.

I think the comic cover is awesome. I wonder if I had that same look on my face last week. (They would have really hated seeing me after my rabbit hunt.)
Lying Dutchman,
Your welcome for enjoying the peace brought to you by our military, and keep warm! Now, go back to your country that has, well, never actually done anything in the history of the world.

"When Tony is caught and fed to a precocious young child who, having eaten one mercury-filled sea kitten too many, falls to the bottom of his class, the irony is not lost on him."
I beg to differ. The irony IS lost on Tony, because he's DEAD.

"Tony the Trout is the smartest Sea Kitten in his school. Already litter-trained at 2 months old, Tony went on to double-major in neuroscience and environmental studies at Clamford University, eventually graduating with honors."
I don't get it, how is it that Tony is the smartest in his school and yet, at the same time, he graduated with honors. Is he in school or did he graduate? And why does a fish need to be litter-trained? This is all so confusing.
Posted by: Kevin R at January 9, 2009 2:00 PM
Isn't it illegal to signify one student as smarter than another?

Hey Dutch Moonbat, The topic is about FISH!!
So fly back to your cave you call the Netherlands for a good hit off the bong or dong or both. Moron.
I think I'll go fishing this weekend, they're catching 300lb. + yellow fin tuna off the coast of San Diego. I'll club them good so they don't suffer too much.

I was wondering what that crowd was doing until I found out that the idiot PETA guy down the street got it wrong. His protest sign read "See pussy".
Posted by: claw at January 9, 2009 3:16 PM
I think the only reason the "fisherman" on the cover has a suit and tie is to convey that he is the worst and lowest of all international villains...A WHITE GUY...(scary screaming music).
Sounds stupid, but that's the kind of folk that run PETA.

What if we stopped referring to unborn babies as “Unborn babies” and started calling them “womb kittens?” Would the left be less callous about aborting them?

These people are nuts!
I live in Smithfield, VA (home of the ham)... and there was a time when one of the trucks carrying pigs to slaughter had a bad crash and piggies (land kittens? nah, these were the BIG pigs) got killed in it and PETA sued them for abuse - for having the crash.

In the process of developing drugs for humans, hundreds of thousands of chemicals have been tested. Out of these many are effective, but for one reason or another (usually a statistical probabliity that when used on millions of people there might be adverse effects in a few) these molecules are not developed as drugs for humans. PETA has made it impossible to develop these for animals by their endless hatred of all animal tests. It just is not worth it for a company to fight them and go on to develop these molecules for animals. So, many drugs that would be effective in animals are never developed.
In my opinion, PETA has caused a very large number of animals to be denied treatment for disease and is responsible for the suffering and death of many beloved pets--many of them belonging to people who either belong to PETA or have given money to PETA.
