Fish Are Not Fish

Fish are now sea kittens.

Fish are friends, not food.

Hmmm, and my first thought was....

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

At that point, it's too late for the fish.

[bryant]

Cat sushi is a crime.

Unlike panda love!

Homina!

Mmmm...thinly sliced raw sea kitten.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Was there a context for that, or was it just one of those random things he said?

[editswlonghair.livejournal.com]

He said it at a campaign rally during his run in 2000. What the specific context is, I don't know. Probably having to do with off-shore drilling if I had to take a guess.

Such a nutjob.

God, do I hate PETA. I want to sit them down and slap them en masse. "YOU'RE NOT HELPING!"

[kirbyk.livejournal.com]

Mmm, tasty tasty kittens.

My all-time favorite is still his "sovereign nations" definition. It's so cringe inducing. The schadenfreude is delicious. ;)

Just the thing to follow a heaping plate of Sea Monkey.

[chaoticmoth.livejournal.com]

It isn't a cat, it is a sea kitten!

...

No... wait...

I can't ... I seriously can't tell if PETA is being serious with this, or if it's self-deprecating humor, or just unrelated humor.

Okay, my head hurts less if I think of this as PETA doing self-deprecating humor, so I'm going to stick with that.

And if you find out that they're serious, please don't tell me. ;) :D

The drawing of the girl giving a fish the Heimlich maneuver is adorable. :)

Those are not real fish, they do not count.

[bryant]

Correct. Emily has nothing to fear from the Glorious Cat Revolution.

[bryant]

It is within my sphere of possibility that PETA is an elaborate post-modern work of humorous art, someday to be remembered alongside the efforts of Wodehouse.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

That's PETA's other mistake though. If they think we wouldn't all be nomming on kitten sandwiches if we found out they were delicious, they are wrong.

[bryant]

NO. no no no no NO.

Oh hey, I have an icon for this.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

What? Come on, your cats would eat you if they had a choice and you stopped providing them with kibble.

[bryant]

Bunny would. Nixie and Maggie would NOT.

[emilytheslayer.livejournal.com]

Maggie would lead the charge. If nothing else, she would eat someone other than you, if there were no food available.

[head58.livejournal.com]

Eating candy in the shape of fish gives children the message that it's okay to eat fish. It's just as objectionable, perhaps MORESO, than easting an actual fish!

(this is PETA logic, not my own, btw)

[michele-blue.livejournal.com]

BUNNY WOULD NOT.

*grumble*

PETA has so far only promoted the campaign in North Carolina but plans to take it nationwide,

[chaoticmoth.livejournal.com]

Oh great, they have to start it here...

This is why I don't like cats. They're always ... watching you. They'd dispense with you without a second thought if you stopped acquiescing to their every desire. They're like the Dutch — I just don't trust'em.
