PETA's campaign to rename fish 'sea kittens'

Andrew · January 13, 2009, 11:42:39 AM

PETA does stupid things just to attract attention to their cause. I think they like the publicity, but I'm not certain it helps their cause. Everyone I know thinks that they are idiots. I think that they're idiots.

Oh, and I'd totally eat a sea kitten.

I'd eat a regular kitten if I knew how to cook it right.. .

Dennis Leary said it best:

Tofu, , tastes like Tofu,,,

But meat tastes like murder, and murder tastes pretty damn good.

I have something to admit to everyone here. I have an aquarium full of sea kittens and I keep them around for the visual enjoyment of others. I guess that makes me a cruel slave master, no different than the circus. I'm sorry.

Side note, I found out what an actual sea kitten looks like...

Amazing species and oh so loveable.

And they have pointy fins chock full of nasty poison that they'll poke you with in a heart beat.

Sea kittens. Bah. They can fend for themselves.

'Noodling' remains the classiest way to catch your very own sea kitten, by the way.

People have died doing that which makes me wonder if putting your hand into the mouth of a potentially hundred plus pound fish and dying is simply Darwin's way of calling people a "dumb @ss". Supporting the sea kitten cause is simply a way of calling one's self a "dumb @ss".

Stoopid PETA!

I scare myself sometime. Then I visit the Manor Macabre site...As big a fan as I am, I've never felt the urge to do a art exhibition in her honour

Weird.

I am getting bored a little.

I need a new horror thing.

I need Manos...

I am for the ethical treatment of animals, but yeah, PETA and similar groups who do random s**t (As detailed this topic) to support a cause that could just as well be simply protested or petitioned must be aware of their idiocy sometimes...

Isn't he kee-yoot?

I'm going to order some Sea Kitten and Chips ... just put it on my Tabby.

Joe the Destroyer · January 14, 2009, 01:26:52 AM

Man, calling this campaign nutty is making me crave peanut butter. Oh! And I have some sea kittens in my freezer! Sweet! Peanut butter and sea kitten casserole it is!

Sigh... PETA really has hit all time lows. While this isn't quite as appalling as "Holocaust on Your Dinner Plate," or whatever the hell they called it, it's just silly. It's almost like those hippies who came up with the answer to world peace by inventing a new language that they would have the entire world speak so that everyone understood each other. I suppose next they're going to tell us to stop killing unicorns for their horns, or slaying dragons is wrong. And all this because Ingrid Newkirk has some agenda or another...

Esperanto is not all that bad of an idea. If everyone could speak their native language and Esperanto, then everyone would be able to talk to each other. I don't know if it would cause world peace; in fact I doubt it would, but as for a way for anybody to talk to anybody else it's a great idea.

Well first you gotta get past their fuzzy outer shell....

Seriously this made me laugh. At this point nothing surprises me about what PETA does. Living in a college town, you get to meet people who subscribe to their views sometimes. You just want to bang you head on a wall trying to get them to say something intelligent.

Oh and my favorite way to eat sea kittens is battered friend with some malt vinegar and a side of fries.
