PETA has finally lost their minds
 

I debated as to whether I should bother sharing this website (see below) since it is so totally bizarre and ridiculous. It is common in the world we live in for people with a particular agenda to try to control how others think and behave by co-opting the language and the words we use. This has given rise to the whole “political correctness” problem. But PETA has taken this approach to all new levels, and now wants to convince our children that fish are just like furry little pets that like to cuddle and should be called “sea kittens.” ("Nobody would hurt a sea kitten" they say.)

They also equate fish intelligence to that of cats and dogs. “Sea kittens are just as intelligent (not to mention adorable) as dogs and cats, and they feel pain just as all animals do.”

I guess it’s good to be informed, that way we know what kind of whackos we’re up against.

(Thanks to Jim A. for bringing this to my attention).

I also understand that when you remove a plant from the soil or a fruit from a tree it also feels pain

Oh my god. Some of the most rediculous crap Ive ever read.....

"finally lost their minds"?!? Like those nut-jobs were ever working with a full deck.

You've never heard your lawn scream when you cut it?

Screaming grass is a very bizarre sound to say the least.I'm never cutting my lawn again.

Ye Gads! Think what the wife will say when you tell her you're heading out tonight to find some pussycat.

Funny, most people think that's just the sound a 2-stroke engine makes normally.

-spence

You think that's bad. try this one: http://www.saveourcatsfromfishermen.com/
Obviously a phony video, but how many people will believe it anyway?

total wackjobs :splat:

lmao!!! :rotfl:

I don't even know what to say about those sites? Sea Kitten? What about live lining kittens? Is that real? What am I seeing?

Last month's Sportfishing magazine bashed them really good.
It was hilarious.

They actually say that fish rub against "caress" each other for comfort and social contact or something..

Oh........they forgot to mention that the cute little "sea kittens" have rows of sharp nasty TEETH to eat other kittens.

Man they are freakin retards.

I hope it is just sick prank not real thing. Some people dont have heart or any respect for animals. Also sometime people make it look real trying to make other people believe what they see.

You guys should know that PETA is just the tip of the iceberg. There are just as radical organizations that don't engage in over-the-top nonsense, and hide behind respectable sounding names like "Humane Society of the United States". PETA is kind of like their "useful idiots". They bear the brunt of public ridicule, and these other organizations appear to be reasonable, and have rational people in their ranks--all the while having just as radical an agenda. Which includes the elimination of hunting and fishing, the elimination of zoos, aquariums, circuses and so on, and ultimately, the elimination of pet ownership.

And by the way---you might want to re-think posting videos like that---animal rights nuts do lurk around websites like this, and post links to threads like this on their message boards to "prove" how bloodthirsty fishermen are--"look, they're using cats for bait". Youy can post all the disclaimers you want, and it'll do no good that most of us are condemning the video--these nuts see what they want to see.

"And who could possibly want to put a hook through a sea kitten?" .... :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh: :huh:

I often wonder how many of those fruitcakes are wearing leather soled shoes and leather belts. Please gimme the chance to confront just one of em. Would a PETA ear make good bait????

Obviously pulling a plant from the soil causes pain but removing its fruit is like sowing its seeds and I enjoy sowing my seeds so maybe the plants get off on someone picking their friut? :as:

Think of all the extra time you'll now have to go fishing.

did YOU say finally????????

targetting children with animation and misinformation/half-truths about a species and demeaning a form of recreation that teaches conservation and respect for the environment, the species, others, while promoting a positve way to interract with nature, fish, and humanity has brought them to an ALLTIME low, imho.

those nuttzjobbz have been GONZO for
many, many years. although this TIME it appears
they've fallen OFF of the Mountain of Idiocy.

just fired off an edited response from their
"Sea Kittens" page form letter :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao:

to support their fraudulent liberal bafoonery,,,,,,,,,
:bl: :bl: :bl: :bl:

go belly-up, in these harsh economic straits,
these yeahoos would be at the top of my list!!

I agree but they do make great commercials! this one was rejected by NBC - they wanted to air it during the SB.

These people are out of their damn minds. "Sea Kittens"? You have to f'n kidding me.

correct me if i'm wrong

i think one of the guy's in obama's cabinet is or was on petas board of directors

getting the cat pregnant right away

Sad a parent would promote the propaganda to their own child.I'd like to see them lose power for a couple of weeks and try and survive in nature.They would re thinking the entire process or die trying to figure it out.
As far as kittens for bait? Disgusts me and I never cared much for cats.I'm thinking that is hoax for people to make $$.However I will still live line pogeys until the day I die.If I don't do it the blues will eat the back half and waste the front.I'm doing my part in completing the circle.I'm not selling that in ads aimed at children.

what's a sea kittens catnip?
