I learned today about Sea Kittens-- the revamped name for what we traditionally call "fish".
PETA (People for the Ethical Treament of Animals) is launching a campaign to incite the compassion of people who ordinarily are concerned with animals, but don't give sea critters the time of day. Hence, the new term: Sea Kittens. It's real. Go to the website. And I guess we should be concerned. Says Ashley Beard, spokesperson,
"I mean, people don't take their kids out for a weekend of hooking kittens in the mouth and dragging them behind their cars, why would you want to poke a fish in the mouth and drag it by a pole?"
Good point, Ashley.
