Seeing they had created a stupidity vacuum, PETA filled the void with this proposal.
Yes, according to PETA, fish are now sea kittens:
PETA – People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals – believes calling fish sea kittens will make sea food less appealing.
It wants to change the image of fish as slimy and slithery creatures by claiming they are similar to cuter, more popular animals. "Would people think twice about ordering fish sticks if they were called sea kitten sticks?" PETA asked on its website.
Yes. I would gladly eat sea kitten sticks, if they were battered and deep fat fried. Mmmmmm. Hard to beat a big batch of Crappie sea kitten with fries. Or is Earth First thinking or renaming potatoes soil puppies?
Either way, the first thing I thought when I read this idiocy is kitten pie:
You know, not all fish live in the sea. What about fresh water fish? Are they still fish, or are they lake kittens and river kittens? And do I have to switch to Meow Mix for bait, or can I still use corn and green worms?
These really are things you need to flesh out before launching something like this.
