"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.

Umm yeah...I guess. Their logic might have worked if fish actually looked anything like kittens but even then, the idea would still be retarded.

Now, if you'll excuse me I'm off to have some fried fish for lunch.

Could backfire of course. Fried sea kitten is delicious and now I'm wondering what fried land kitten tastes like.

Well I hate cats too, so I guess this doesn't help.

Kittens = pussies. The connection between fish and pussies isn't how they look, it's how they smell.

Haha, i can totally picture a guy running around trying to catch a cat saying "Do you taste like fish?"

I propose that PETA members henceforth be referred to as 'land vermin'.

Well that explanes this IRC topic that got put up recently on a channel I frequent

The chatroom of scioly.org | #scioly.trivia for trivia | Ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to stop promoting sea kitten hunting today!

Thanks now it makes sense

""Most parents would never dream of spending a weekend torturing kittens for fun with their families, but hooking a sea kitten through the mouth and dragging her through the water is the same as hooking a kitten through the mouth and dragging her behind your car," Byrne says."
