PeTA have reached new,dizzying heights of stupidity and patheticness. Not only do they use any celeb they can get their hands on to further their cause. Not only do murder dogs and cats. Not only did they try and force Ben and Jerries to use human breast milk in ice cream. Know they are trying to change the name of an entire species. They are trying to change 'Fish' into...'Sea Kittens'! Their reason for this? Because the word 'fish' sounds too similar to the verb 'fishing'...I swear to god this is serious! They also believe that if all fish were called sea kittens then people wouldnt want to put a hook through their head. Dont beleive me check out the new site:http://www.peta.org.uk/sea_kittens/index.asp

EDIT: The Blobfish is now officially my new avatar! Blobfish For The Win...but For The Lose for you!

So, instead of fishing, we would be kittening? Where do they thing the adjective stemmed from?

*grabs rod*

thats it! im going Sea Kittening. who's coming with?

lets go kittening

Retards. Pure, simple, fucking retarded, inbred, fuckwitted, dipshit faced, so high they have to look down to see heaven assholes. What's wrong with them, why can't they focus on helping animals rather than being absolute fucktards. Next time I go anywhere near the coast I'm going to spend the entire time fishing just to spite idiots like this. *smashes face into table* I'm a little permanently pissed at PETA. Specially since they soak up so much funding and then waste it on crap like this.

Edit: reading the responses makes me feel warm inside.

That actually sounds like fun! Only exception is that you have to throw the kittens back if they're too big... why would you catch a cat when kittening.

I really hope PETA doesn't recruit your average American when it comes to intelligence, or else my worries for that country's future have just increased dramatically.

But c'mon guys, Sea Kittens are so Rad.

Seriously, this is one of the most ridiculous idea's I have ever heard of. New generation fishermen would change the sports name to sea kittening and become Sea Kittenermen.

I hate these people.
And I bet fish do, as well. They're about to be named after creatures that eat them.

Everytime you masturbate god kills a sea kitten.

Edit: But really, this is just silly. They outdo themselves once again.

No No its white wine with sea-kitten!

I cannot wait until children start tossing their beloved pet cats into the sea to be with their sea-kitten brethren.

I thought this thread title read : sex kittens

:-(

There have been too many times recently ive heard people blame a prejudice on the english language, but its just wrong, if the word has any connotations its a social problem.

50 bucks that happens at some point in the first 10 years after this goes through.

50 more says if they do, it'll still be blamed on gaming.

I think we'd better hide PETA from the aliens. If I were to fly to some distant planet, and saw this kind of pure, raw stupidity, I'd blow up the planet...
No, wait, the galaxy...

Seriously, how do they come up with these things? What's next, calling rats 'bald-tailed mice', because 'rat' sounds so negative? Calling sparrows 'mini-hawks', because sparrow makes you think of an unwashed pirate? While we're at it, lets call dogs 'furry pals', because we wouldn't want anyone to think about doggy-style, now would we?

suprised no catfish jokes have come up...well i ruined that idea

raxiv:
I love this thread. Pure *fapfap* awesome.

Thank God Google saved my ignorant ass again. For others unaware:
http://encyclopediadramatica.com/Sea_Kittens

OR there is that neat little link in the original post linking you directly to the PETA website...

Thought that was particularly relevant to the thread.

Its strange that they act like all fish are cute little chibi creatures. Yes,because we all know there are no threatening or scary fish at all!

Wait, their site says people don't like fish because they're slimy and slithery and tend to bite/devour, but these "sea kitten" creatures are pleasant animals that tend their gardens and hope they don't get killed so their gardens can stay in shape...

Do people seriously buy this shit?

Also, Mr. Putin...

Which is the sea kitten and which isn't?

It's quite a funny idea but I'd prefer them to be called Sea Puppies, that was fishing would have to be renamed dogging.

You are a genius! Also,that is the best avatar ever.

Ummm...the verb "fishing" is derived from the noun "fish". Therefore rendering their point useless, as then the act would be called Sea Kittening... Which doesn't have the same ring as fishing...

I really doubt that fishing causes fish to go 'mad with grief'.

Blobfish is still better though. It belongs in the sea anyway so people wont see it's beautiful aura.

Blobfish reminds me of Mr. Saturn.
