PETA = Crazy

[on:]

Some genius over at PETA decided to start a campaign to save fish. For reasons unknown they decided to rename fish as Sea Kittens... I don't understand what's wrong with the word fish. Plus cat's eat fish, haha. There's also the fact that sea kittens will eat other sea kittens, that kind of produces a disturbing visual. Things like this just make them look even more ridiculous. If your curious here's a link to their site, PETA.

They also have some web graphics for people to use that say:

• "Nobody wants to eat a sea kitten. Save a sea kitten, eat veggie sushi."
• "Nobody wants to eat a sea kitten. Please don't eat the sea kittens."

What the #$%&! Those "sea kittens" look like an abomination of nature!



I am very much in support of fishing. It's not like wild-caught fish were stuck in a small crate and force fed steroids like with other animals. Eating fish is one of the things you don't have to feal guilty about, because you know that fishy had a good life and got to swim around with his/her school and most likely pass on it's genes and eat natural food, etc.

I try to make my parents only buy organic free range, locally bred and raised meat, and never ever cows (don't like eating cows, or pigs). I only want to eat "happy chickens" and "happy turkeys"... And happy fishies! (happy sushi...yum!)


Also want to add - I HATE IT when people over fish! That's the one form of fishing I don't like. Our salmon population (one of our big industries over here on the west coast of Canada) has gone way way down, because the salmon rout goes right by Japan (I believe? may be another country in that area) and they don't have any restrictions on fishing, and they just devastate the population, and only a few make it back to spawn. Somehow our gov't has overlooked this though, and hasn't appeared to be doing anything about it... In the past, some people around here over fished, but we have huge restrictions now.

On a side note about the salmon, we have an awesome hatchery here in town that catches most of the fish that come up one of our big rivers when they come to spawn, and since they die when they spawn, they humanely kill them, take all the eggs, all the "milt" (from the males) and mix it all together, and raise the resulting babies to "fry" stage (many many more babies survive this way) and then release them into the river when it gets close to the time to head off to the ocean. It is great because in the wild, most of the babies would get eaten, or not even be created. They only do this in one river though. We have a river behind our house, and I sometimes help the fish through the rough parts, over the rocks into the calmer breeding area, if I'm out there when they're making the journey.

Hahaha sorry for the rambling stories

Apparently Peta must think that people will somehow gain more sympathy for fish if they think of them as kittens

When sea kittens get bigger do they grow into catfish? lmao

Looks like a campaign to target younger people, if you ask me... *eyeballs the picture of the little girl hugging a fish*

Many species of fish are actually harmful to the environment because they reproduce so quickly and use up a lot of resources. Rainbow trout, for example... which just happens to be my favorite meal. Hahaha.

I'm a huuuuge fan of sushi, too.
