Mmmm, that's some good river kitten!
PETA has long been the domain of the “intellectually challenged”, but this is so weird it defies logic. PETA’s latest campaign? Save the Sea Kittens. What are sea kittens, you ask? We normal people call them what they are – fish. This is from their own ’sea kitten’ web page:
[We're] going to start by retiring the old name for good. When your name can also be used as a verb that means driving a hook through your head, it’s time for a serious image makeover. And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?
Some sea kittens tend well-kept gardens. They encourage the growth of tasty algae and weed out the types that they don’t like. It is particularly tragic when people eat these sea kittens, as their precious little gardens become wild and overgrown in their absence.
They can call them sea kittens or water puppies or whatever they want, but fish are still fish, and I like mine broiled in butter with a little lemon. Or with rice and seaweed as sushi. My real concern, as a resident of the great state of Colorado, is what they’re going to call non-oceanic sea kittens – river kittens? Lake kittens? And how do you distinguish between species? Rainbow river kittens? Walleye kittens?
