There is a group of humans who fight tirelessly for teh rights of us critters which is a plus in my book. But sometimes I think they’ve had too much catnip, or whatever it’s called that the humans sniff and do funny things because of it.

Case in point, PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals) has some kind of movement going to get fish renamed as SEA KITTENS!!

The point of this madness is to get people to stop eating fish and to stop fishing too. PETA folks think eating fish is bad and they think that a new name would improve the fishies’ self-image. Their logic is that by putting fish on the same level as us pretty kitties people will stop eating them.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants to rename fish as “sea kittens” to improve their image. “Nobody would hurt a sea kitten,” PETA says on its website. “People don’t seem to like fish.[...]

Um, I guess they forgots that there are people who would hurt a “sea kitten”. After all, there are some scary people with a tradition of eating cats.

This brings up an interesting question though. If “fish” get called “sea kittens” and are considered kitties, does that make me a cannibal? Why must these sillies humans mess with my mind so! Fish are fish and that’s that. They taste dang good and are meant to be eaten. I mean really, what’s next, calling kitties doggies? *shudders*

PETA even lets you make your own Sea Kitten too, which now that I think about it, is kind of weird but fun. See, even I made one:
