:rofl:

[caitylee]

Calling them sea kittens isn't going to stop me from eating fish :)

[vampie]

Um... okay...

[H3D]

I think we should do much more to protect fish...but this is not going to help at all...LMAO!

[6.5x55]

Beeeeeee-zarre!

[BELLUM]

Thank you so much you made my day. I have not laughed that hard for awhile.

[A. Nonymous]

But Sea Monkeys are so much cuter. And my fish love them more than Sea Kittens.

[vampie]

And you know, some of those "sea kittens" actually look freaky as opposed to cute.

Fish are cute in their own right anyways. My cat stopped slamming into mirrors ages ago, but my bettas and gobies still do it.

[Kevin S.]

These people should hand out this nonsense in a barroom in Gloucester, MA. It would go over like a fart in a spacesuit.

[rocker92]

they express affection by gently rubbing against one another

nope.... it is called an itch!!!


people eating tasty animals (a.k.a. peta) are such morons!!!!!

Story #3 cracks me up.

[paperdragon]

I'm currently eating some nice wild-caught Alaskan Sea Kitten. Sure is yummy. :D

[jpappy789]

Those stories are disturbing. I wouldn't want my child reading those...

[A. Nonymous]

I may go out and eat some cat sea kitten this evening just for snicks.

[Madcrawdad]

That's funny. Whenever I've served grilled kitten at home, I told the kids it was 'land fish' in order to get them to eat it.











:)

[Sounguru]

So I cruised the site and have confirmed it is run by a bunch of half cocked freaks of nature that should have been thrown back at birth....

"I don't see fish as sea kittens; I see them as food," says 12-year-old Chastity Haskins.

lol that part of the article made me laugh

[excuzzzeme]

PETA is PITA - a bunch of kooks with too much time and too much money while exercising their too little brain. They need to find a real job and a real life.

"Sea Kitten" is on our menu and will always be a part of our menu regardless of what they wish to call it. I'm not a cow - I don't eat grass and grain.

I would like to see a sea kitten play with balls of yarn! Tara tuna is in a small tight place known as a tuna can! What a bunch of Wackos!

[lilim10]

:werd: We all love fish here...but this is going too far.

[tennesseemom]

I wish they would put their ability to cause such a stir into keeping betta's out of cups in stores.

[leeser28]

:rofl:

The stories were priceless though - I actually especially liked #2, being a prof and all... PETA is a bit :screwy:

[J double R]

If you use their "write a letter to the politician" link, you can modify the letter to say whatever you want..

I wrote a letter explaining how absurd they are and that none of their bills should ever even see a vote...

even got a confirmation email from PETA saying it got sent! :D

[Bubbles2112]

HAHAHAHA!!!! I love this!!!! :popcorn: (I'm eating sea kittenlets)

PETA will cause more than a stir. They are against fishkeeping as a whole so they are always out of the loop as an option to address issues like this.

LAMO

[UncaBret]

They are liars! Their "animal rescue" units kill more animals than they save.

[severum mama]

"Well, it may raise some money for PETA, but I don't think it'll change the way we manage the fisheries," Dixon says. "I think I may eat some sea kittens tonight."LOL! Tasty! :D

*edit* I just clicked the link to the book... what a HORRIBLE thing for children to see!:omg:

[AquaGem]

who would ever read their kids those stories? watch, some kid will throw a ball of yarn in their aquarium...

[jm1212]

they're all completely nuts

[Kashta]

That's just great. And what do real "kittens" eat? ...Tuna, mackerel, salmon, and ocean whitefish.

What a stupid campaign.

Sadly a diet high in fish is bad for cats, I believe that it can cause increased magnesium levels which can affect the kidneys. don't take my word I've got to research a little more but i believe that was what my veterinarian said.

but yeah, fish flavor is my cats favorite foods

[Kashta]

Oh no, of course not. I didn't mean a steady diet of just fish. But that's a good portion of what goes into commercial cat foods... fish products. Silly PETA fanatics.

[snoopy65]

I guess PETA wouldn't like my family all the way around.....Let's see, I have venison (which I shot), I have duck and goose (which my husband shot), I have Lake Erie Walleye (which we trolled for), I have Lake Erie Perch (which we "jigged" for). I have 4 deer head mounts, 4 turkey tail mounts, 2 stuffed ducks.....oh and not to mention my deer head kitten aquarium.........the list goes on and on.

But I would like to thank them for the excellent deer hunt we had 4 years ago. They decided to march through the woods on opening day......they pushed all of the deer to us hunters and we all tagged out first day. It made things easy.

They are a bunch of loons!

[dog_gone07]

I don't think I can say anything but "wow" :headshake2:

[Coler]

Calling them sea kittens isn't going to stop me from eating fish :)

Nor me eating kittens

[Dwarf Puffers]

I pity the children who were read those creepy stories... I mean seriously, not only are they horrible, but they make next to no sense and always include suicidal "sea kittens"... Wtf?

I prefer venison and beef over sea kitten. Halibut is pretty darn good though ;)

[Hooked Newbie]

Well, it's time for me to join PETA. They're obviously passing out good drugs to their members!

Really though, WTH?!

"rebranding fish as sea kittens".... ROFLMAO!

I'm going to start my own rebranding campaign... PETA = Promote Everything That's Assinine.

[saram521]

lol that is a funny image! "You like nudging the yarn that's in the way of you swimming, don't ya? Listen! I think the sea-kitten is gurgling, it's so happy! Yay!!"

I completely respect hunters that eat as much meat and use as many parts as they can off the animal they killed. The animals they hunt for live much better lives than the livestock raised in dirty and overcrowded conditions that are slaughtered for America's masses.

[excuzzzeme]

One mediums sized deer feeds me almost all year when butchered right. Not venison steaks but stew and other cuts as well. When I go out early in the morning I bring home enough "creek kittens" to feed my wife and myself breakfast. Then I bag a sea kitten or two when they are running. I also get veggies from neighbors and friends home gardens. So I have a majority of non-processed foods that are healthy and I am wrong for it??? Sorry PETA, I don't have 3-7 stomachs to process a straight grain diet. Get a life!

[Sploke]

See this is the problem (well one of the many) I have with PETA..they think that animals need to be considered "cute" to be worth saving. Idiots.

[J double R]

yeah, good thing for me theyre not in charge of the human race! ;)

[Sploke]

Yeah, you'd be screwed :p:

thats why i use my ONE stomach to process straight grain ALCOHOL. ;)


Yeah, you'd be screwed :p:


:evil_lol: just me, my tent, and a bottle of pepper tequila, waiting on anyone else who wants to comment.... ;)

[marinkafuschia]

*looks in mirror to see if still has canine teeth. yup* looks like I'll be eating all the good wild game I can get, plus yummy local veggies. yes we all agree torturing and neglecting animals we choose to take responsibility of is wrong but so is anthropomorphizing fish making it seem like its a "sin" to eat healthy food that we can biologically digest better! or would that be felinemorphizing? sea kittens..yummy, I dig those forest puppys too! (deer)

[Philosophos]

So just for the fun of it I did some quick reading. Having done a bit of abortion debate, i find PETA's issue similar when it comes to the ethics of consciousness. 5-10 minutes of reading any real text seems to show that PETA is, as suspected, completely nutters.

The main issue? no neocortex = no conscious awareness, no decision making process. From what I can read, at the same time there's the proper nociceptic pathways to the thalamus. The lights are on, but nobody's home.

On the other hand, I guess PETA might argue that it's like hauling a scaly Terry Schaivo with a working thalamic stimulator out of the water and clubbing her between the eyes.

I'll see your "Land Fish" and raise you a vegetable. :thm:

Yeah... I heard they throw awesome ragers. Plus with their altered/absent state of mind, i bet picking up PETA hotties is as easy as shooting hippie sea kittens in a barrel. :evil_lol:







I bet they source from Mr. Nice Guy...

[park83]

PETA makes most animal lovers look bad. I don't care for them.

[Dwarf Puffers]

I wonder if this will deter any kitten-eating fish lovers :lol2: (err, besides Coler)

[AquaGem]

wait, I thought he was kidding...

[J double R]

i bet picking up PETA hotties is as easy as


say... good idea! :D

I just finished reading the "Bedtime Stories".:eek:

If I had read them without knowing where they can from I would have thought they were someone lampooning PETA.

[evident]

QFT. as much as i love fish and all other animals, i realize where they are on the food chain and where humans are! its only in america is where we have the luxury to choose to be vegetarians

[UncaBret]

PETA = Promote Everything That's Assinine.

That would be a great name for a Facebook group!

[paperdragon]

Uhhh... no, not really. There's vegetarians all over the world. I've met a pretty decent number of them online.

I was talking about this the other day with my family. My sister's boyfriend had a great idea - instead of calling fish "sea kittens" and not eating them, why don't we call cats "land fish" and start eating them too. :D
