They say that no publicity is bad publicity, but in PETA’s case, we’re definitely going to make an exception. Ed Morrissey brings us the latest in the animal-rights group’s efforts to make itself even more irrelevant than it already is.
When you think cute, playful, and snuggly in animals, the logical choice of pet is … trout? That’s what PETA thinks, anyway, in its new campaign to propagandize children into avoiding meat. They now want to call fish “sea kittens”, because then no one would ever think of eating a kitten — right?
He’s not kidding. The best part is that PETA thinks it’s patronizing tone is actually cute. Dig some of the copy.
A University of Edinburgh study found that sea kittens can retain information that they learned up to 11 months earlier, which makes them cuter and smarter than the president of the United States!
Ho, ho! Ha, ha!
Let’s hope they don’t keep that web page up past January 20th, huh? We wouldn’t want them to be guilty of blasphemy.
What they want is for you to send a form e-mail to the Fish and Wildlife Service demanding that he immediatly ban “sea kitten hunting” (their new term for fishing) and encourage humane sports like birdwatching. They seem to have completely forgotten about the millions of people who eat fish…err…sea kittens because of the many, many health benefits. Then again, PETA never has cared much for the welfare of human beings. Much like the rest of their fellow progressives.

The first thing I thought of when I read about this was the scene in Young Einstein of the chef making kitten pie.
Mmmmm….kitten pie.
For those who have not had the pleasure of seeing Young Einstein, here’s the clip on YouTube:

Oh, PETA… (tsk tsks). By the way, I definitely came up with the Filet O’ Sea Kitten sandwich first, guys!
