I'm all for Animal Rights but Sea Kittens???  |
| |
| I happen to love animals- dogs, cats, anything cute and cuddly. Animal abuse is appalling and horrible but I think PETA is way over the top on this one. I came across this while surfing around for salmon recipes. I laughed so hard, no offense to vegetarians but this is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen. Here's a link: http://www.peta.org/sea_kittens/index.asp That's right- Fish are no longer fish- they are SEA KITTENS!!! Huh? What? Are they actually serious? I guess if they wanted people to talk about it- this latest campaign worked. I just wonder if they know that it is because it is stupid. I understand they are trying to protect animals but come on!! Sea Kitten? So how do you like your sea kitten? I like mine with a lemon butter sauce with some mashed potatoes. So what say you? Do you think this is really over the top stupid or do you agree? I'd like to hear some opinions. Thanks for reading (and laughing, like I know most of you will do). | | | | | |

| | Yum! Lemon butter sauce with mashed potatoes sounds perfect for my sea kittens!! I'm sure I could eat several helpings! I think this is over the top and smacks more of propaganda. Sure, all of life is precious, but let's not create terms to garner people's sympathies or fears. | | | | | | |

| | Yep that's exactly what they are doing. "Noone would ever eat a sea kitten stick." Ummm, my kids love fish sticks and they even laughed hysterically about the sea kitten thing. LOL | | | |

| | Ha that's funny. I think this would have more of an impact if fish really mattered, and were more itelligent, as dogs and cats are. People don't eat them because we have them as pets. But I have some fish as pets, too - and I don't mind eating other fish. I guess it's just because fish are so impersonal, and simply sit in a bowl all day until you give them some food... | | | | | | |

| | Exactly. Puppy Mills are bad- PETA should be all out against the horrors of that. But I wonder how they feel about keeping fish in aquariums because they aren't in the wild or do they just matter when you eat them? Thanks for stopping by! | | | |

| | I wonder whether they think that will improve anything. There are people who don't do nice things to kittens. On the flipside and staying on the topic of kittens and cats, some animals are predators and they need that type of protein in their system. Will PETA one day call for the extermination of all meat eating predators, because they eat other animals? | | | | | | |

| | I think PETA gets so much notariety from these silly things - keeps their names in the lime light! This particular issue tho, just makes them look stupid.. as you said, it was a nice laugh! What they are failing to get is that LAND KITTENS don't give a rats what their favorite food is called... as long as they get it!!!! I am not a fish eater ...but if I were, I don't care what they call them. Lord gave them to me to eat so I will! | | | | | | |

| | The reason PETA has to do this, is because people can't seem to understand that sea creatures are just as important as kittens or puppies. If a fisherman pulled up a cute, cuddly kitten on his line instead of a fish, you can bet he wouldn't watch it die a slow, agonizing death...and that's what fish have to go though when they are caught. They gasp for air until they eventually die. It's the exact same thing as holding a person's head underwater until they drown. It's unfortunate that PETA has to go to these lengths to make people understand...but I've said this once and I'll say it again...people certainly aren't the smartest things on this earth...so maybe talking to them like children might help | | | | | | |

| | Ok, you sound like a PETA person so I'll ask you- is it ok to keep fish in aquariums then instead of letting them be in the wild? But see they aren't really making people understand, they are being condescending which most adults don't really care for. I do understand they are premised around shock value but this could be a little over the top. They should do commercials like the help the poor kids commercials where they show what they want people to see in a grown up manner- I think more people would react better to that for their cause.

| | The real problem with Peta's attacks are that irrational propaganda undermines legitimate issues related to animal welfare. Peta should focus more on preventing aggregious instances of animal abuse rather than pushing an agenda that few people will accept anyway. | | | | | | |
