This is from NPR:
“PETA thought that by renaming fish sea kittens, compassionate people who would never dream of hurting a dog or a cat might extend that sympathy to fish, or sea kittens,” PETA campaign coordinator Ashley Byrne says.
Byrne says that rebranding fish as sea kittens was obvious.
“Fish not only have the same ability to feel pain as a dog or a cat, but they also communicate with one another,” she says. “They have complex social interactions; they form bonds; they express affection by gently rubbing against one another.”
PETA has so far only promoted the campaign in North Carolina but plans to take it nationwide.
Once again I’ve been out-weirded by the pros.
Grilled sea kitten, soft corn tortillas and pico de gallo. —Sea Kitten tacos….. Yummy.
