If PETA are trying to turn rational people away from themselves, they’re going about it the right way.
Being concerned about animal welfare is one thing; voluntarily associating with delusional dimwittery is entirely another.
So you prefer your sea kitten raw? I don’t mind it once in a while but I like my sea kitten broiled with lemon butter and every so often a nicely battered and fried sea kitten is good, too, with fries and Hush Puppies.
Well, PETA doesn’t admit it, but they’re not an animal welfare group. They’re an animal rights group; their aims are entirely political, and directed mostly at protesting humans’ use of animals as food, hide, guinea pigs, etc etc . The treatment of individual animals is not of great concern to them.
At another forum I visit, it was proposed that cats should be renamed to “land fish”. That would make lions “land sharks”, sea lions “sea land sharks” and catfish “land fish sea kittens”.
Wasn’t it people from PETA who got into trouble recently for a hate campaign against a group of scientists - including spreading rumours that some of them were pedophiles?
I can’t remember which radio show I was listening to this morning, maybe Bob and Tom, they were talking about this as it related to some high school in South Dakota called Spearfish High School. One of the guys on the show said he wouldn’t be opposed to PETA’s idea if the high school could keep the name SpearSeaKittens.
I’m wondering if PETA feeds on itself. After all, you have a bunch of radical animal lovers who probably yes yes each other’s ideas. They’re in a fishbowl. There’s no outside influence who can say, “umm, guys, look…”
