Barking mad PETA-heads want fish names changed to "sea kittens."
 As part of a campaign to stop people eating fish, PETA is asking American schools with fish names to change their names to Sea Kitten High School.How about "Roof Rabbit High School?" The sea kittens campaign, launched in October last year, argues that calling fish sea kittens will make people think twice about eating fish, because fish have feelings as well. Schools asked by PETA to change their names so far are Whitefish High School in Missoula, Montana and Spearfish High School in Spearfish, South Dakota. Should we now refer to game birds as "sky bunnies?" PETA said in a statement that "If [the schools] became Sea Kitten High and everyone in town starts calling fish 'sea kittens,' fewer of these gentle animals would be violently killed for food, painfully hooked for 'sport,' or cruelly confined to aquariums. Schools strive for achievements in academics and sports, so why not add compassion to the list?" Posted by: Atomic Conspiracy 2009-01-09 |
