PETA has gone completely bloody mental. (Well, more than their usual background insanity.)

They're trying to rebrand fish as "sea kittens" and get the US Fish and Wildlife Service to shut down the entire fishing industry. It took me a few read-throughs to figure out they're actually serious about this.

I'm currently eating some fishsticks - excuse me, "sea kitten briquettes" - and fail to see how this campaign is supposed to convince everyone. OM NOM NOM NOM.

"PETA - the organization that offers more 'huh?'s per second!"

I saw that sea kittens last night when someone linked it in their journal. MAN, I needed that laugh. I've just completely lost the ability to take PETA seriously at all and just laugh. And laugh.

Mmm, catfish.

ROFL, that's awesome! I'm going to start calling fish "sea kittens" now, it sounds a lot more appetizing than "fish" :-P

I wonder how they'd taste with some breadfish?

That PETA is trying to make raising/catching anything and everything in the kingdom Animalia illegal is nothing new or unusual. The "sea kittens" thing is amusing though. I remember several years back when they were complaining that a town named "Fishkill" should change its name, despite the name coming from the Dutch word "kil", meaning creek.
