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.”
