What do you think about PETA trying to market fish as Sea Kittens so we will stop eating them. Since Catfish are actually very popular, I dont think this will work.


Are you saying that they want us to quit eating fish?


no...just stop smelling like one...lol


I don't smell like one.rant

WOW Gio...that was pretty damned crude and insulting...

I think you owe Winx an apology.

If you weren't directing that crude remark at her...well at best it's a case of pretty bad timing.

Come on, lets quit hijacking the thread. The topic is sea kittens. Would you still eat them? I say yes. The reason we don't eat real kittens is not because they are called kittens, but because they are adorable. Fish not so much.

Although, Steven Colbert said he would have to change his diet to include what he calls "land fish". (and of course they showed a picture of a kitten)

When fish start playing with balls of yarn and poop in a litterbox, I'll pay attention.

Has anybody mentioned that actual kittens themselves would be among the first to EAT the fish?

I didn't know what sea kittens were and found this:

PETA fishing for sympathy for 'sea kittens'
Misty Harris,
Published: Tuesday, January 13, 2009

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has launched a marketing campaign to rebrand fish as "sea kittens," a name the organization hopes will increase awareness and make the vertebrates more endearing to those who would eat them.

"A lot of people don't realize that fish are capable of feeling fear and pain, that they develop relationships with each other, and even show affection by gently rubbing against one another," says Ashley Byrne, PETA's sea kitten campaign co-ordinator. "Knowing that the fish sticks in the school cafeteria are really made out of tortured sea kittens makes most kids want to lose their lunch."

The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals have launched a marketing campaign to rebrand fish as "sea kittens".

The advocacy effort, which also addresses environmental concerns about over-fishing, is the latest in a growing list of publicity campaigns by non-profits, conservationists and animal activists that treat "misunderstood" creatures - everything from cats to slugs and spiders - as if they were celebrities in need of better representation.

As a humourous entry on the sea kitten website states, "fish need to fire their PR guy-stat. Whoever was in charge of creating a positive image for fish needs to go right back to working on the Britney Spears account and leave our scaly little friends alone."

Although the youth-focused campaign has drawn snickers from critics, none of PETA's long record of animal rights victories has come without some public mockery. It was by using similar tactics that the organization strong-armed such corporate giants as McDonald's, Safeway, Wendy's, Burger King and, most recently, Canadian KFC restaurants to implement new standards of animal welfare.

On fishinghurts.com, PETA also addresses worldwide concerns about over-fishing.

According to a 2006 Canadian-led study in the journal Science, nearly one-third of all fishing stocks worldwide have declined to less than 10 per cent of their maximum observed abundance. Should depletion continue at this pace, researchers warn all stocks currently fished would collapse by 2050.

But Dalhousie biology professor Jeff Hutchings believes PETA's attempt to address the issue is "misguided" at best.

"Worldwide, we can't even reduce our fishing pressure, so the thought of eliminating fishing altogether is simply absurd," says Hutchings, chairman of the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada. "Furthermore, any positive benefits that might be realized by drawing attention to the plight of fish are, to my mind, weakened by the costs of a campaign that calls fish 'sea kittens'."

I eat fish a couple of times a week. It's healthy to eat and I like it. I love shrimp, lobster and crab legs.

I had high triglycerides once and eating fish lowered it and kept me off medicines for it.
