According to Power Line Blog PETA has started a new campaign to discourage people from eating fish. They evidently have decided that the fish PR people have not done an adequate job of convincing us that we should not eat them. In keeping with the current depth of the popular culture in America, PETA has decided that a name change should do the trick. Fish will now be called (if PETA has its way) 'sea kittens'. After all, you wouldn't want to eat something that has the name 'kitten'. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems to me that kittens are warm, fuzzy, loveable things. They sit on your lap and purr. Try doing that with a fish.
The campaign is aimed at children (as usual), teaching them that fish are really very intelligent animals and that we should not eat them. Any educator taking part in this campaign should be charged with brainwashing--this is ridiculous.
