PETA's campaign to rename fish 'sea kittens'
A CAMPAIGN to rename fish as "sea kittens" in order to improve their image has been ridiculed by the Federal Opposition.
Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the "sea kitten" name as part of its push to restrict fishing.

"Nobody would hurt a sea kitten!" the group says on its website.

"People don't seem to like fish.

"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."

The website features images of fish with cats' whiskers and ears.

PETA is using the campaign to entice people to sign a petition calling on the US Fish and Wildlife Service to stop promoting "the hunting of sea kittens (otherwise known as fishing)".

Opposition fisheries spokesman John Cobb was not impressed with the campaign, nor with PETA.

PETA has offended some in Australia with is high-profile campaign against mulesing, the practice of cutting away the skin from a sheep's rear to prevent flystrike.

Mr Cobb said the group had little credibility.

"It is hard to take an organisation which wants to change the name of fish seriously," he said.

Many people might laugh at the sea kitten campaign, Mr Cobb said, but PETA's agenda was actually more sinister: destroying the meat and fish industries.

PETA has convinced a number of large companies to boycott Australian wool which comes from mulesed flocks.

The group argues mulesing is cruel and there are better ways to prevent flystrike.

Peta are big time whackjobs, and i didn't read the article because anything about PETA just angers me.

This isn't necessarily related, but food for thought nonetheless - Fish is awesome and nutritious and delicious, but i think its weird to eat orange ruffy because it lives to like 100 years old. Fish lovers correct me if i'm wrong. Not sure if that's a double standard because i love 99% of the fish i eat - Hope i didn't jack this thread tho

When I took the Norfolk Naval Shipyard cruise last year and saw PETA's HQ, I was kinda dreaming about how nice it would be if one of those big guns misfired and removed those HQ from this blue orb! Shame on me- that's how I feel- too damn bad!

Uhhh, wouldn't your title suggest that PETA was less than full retard previously? If you ever met any of them or seen them in action you would understand they have been pretty full-on retard for many years. Maybe they have gone super-retard lately...

Many of Jesus Christ's disciples were fishermen, and He even showed them where to drop their nets for a better catch. If it was good enough for the Lord, it's good enough for me.

That is seriously funny Mark. PETA is made up of total idiots and whackjobs that should be in a real asylum somewhere.

My wife says that pigs should be "puddle puppies"

This reminds me of the time a friend and I got thrown out of petco trying to ask for a feeder kitten for his 6+ foot gar (we were kidding could never do that).

Goodness, PETA found a new low.
