PETA saves the sea kittens - game
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.”
