PETA creates a new image for fish - SEA KITTENS
PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) think fish do not get enough respect and have launched a campaign to “beef up” their image. They have taken it upon themselves to be the new PR representative for our ocean friends and have given them a more “people friendly” name – Sea Kittens. After all, doesn’t everyone like kittens?
The PETA website gives many interesting facts about Sea Kittens that most people don’t know:
- Sea Kittens keep gardens on the ocean floor that promote the growth of algae. These gardens become overgrown when the Sea Kittens are gone.
- Sea Kittens (all types) have a language “squeaks” that enables them to talk to each other.
- Sea Kittens build nests to protect their offspring.
- One study found that Sea Kittens could recall information they learned 11 months earlier.
- Sea Kittens enjoy being petted.
The website also posts a petition to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife department asking them to stop fishing for Sea Kittens.
I recommend that you check-out this clever Sea Kitten website. It has a “create your own Sea Kitten” game where you can play dress-up with a variety of species, but beware of the “Storybook” page which is interesting, but a bit more graphic.
I don’t know about you, but I am definitely rooting for the “Sea Kittens.”
Comments
PETA is a sick no-animal-use group. They are trying to make fish loveable and cuddly so you won't eat them. It is all part of their no-animal-use agenda. We are all supposed to become vegans wearing plastic shoes. Remember that their idea of "saving" dogs and cats is to euthanize them. Their record is abysmal when it actually comes to "saving" animals. I think all animals deserve humane care whether for food, fur, entertainment, research, education or companionship. But they are animals. They don't deserve legal rights until they can vote. And when it comes to fish, I love fish. I'm having Salmon for super.
