Fish are intelligent and lead complex lives. -PETA

What about PETA and aquarists? What's thier 'position' on that?

I can only guess at how they would "attack" us....
 
After reading a few of the links I keep comign across alternative soy based meat like (or fish like) products to choose instead. Perhaps PETA is just a really good marketing firm for soy based meatlike products.
 
PETA is, for the most part (99.9%) a horrible, horrible organization. That .1% that does good, is FAR outweighed by the criminals they fund and encourage, as cited in the article by cearbhaill. Going by their extreme thinkings, nobody should have any type of pet at all, since they are not in their natural habitats (sure, cats have been bred as pets for years and years, but they didn't start out that way)...

and us aquarists? Well we may as well discuss what new fish we'd like for our torture tanks while sitting at the dinner table eating a nice thick steak, wearing a new real mink jacket, a leather belt and crocodile shoes, while watching our baby veal cows out in the backyard get depressed in their tiny pens as they wonder what's going on with the sad looking chickens cooped up across the way.

I agree pretty much Dwayne. Though I think the problem is that these PETA supporters feel that they are doing the right thing, even if that right thing is breaking a law.
 
Exactly Slip... they think they are doing the right thing, and they have every right to believe what they want to believe, but once they cross the line from legal to illegal, that's where my problem with them lies ... it's like pro-life people... I don't agree with them, but they have every right to believe what they want and to rally as they want, but once they cross the line of legality - throwing malatov cocktails into clinics or harrassing women coming to the clinics, that's where my problem with them lies.
