People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) wants us to stop calling fish “fish” and start calling them “sea kittens.”

The animal rights group is interested in saving the lives of fish that people eat and hopes the name change will encourage more people to view fish as cute and lovable, rather than dinner.

While real kittens — which PETA calls “land” kittens — are furry and playful, PETA is promoting the “sea kittens” as scaly, yes, but also bright, affectionate beings capable of learning and feeling pain.

The group is petitioning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to stop promoting “the hunting of sea kittens (otherwise known as ‘fishing&#8217.” The sea kittens campaign includes short online stories, a create-your-own-sea-kitten interactive, and free avatars and desktop banners.

So they want to change a name of animals that have had said name since time began. Can these people get any more stupid?

Sea kittens.....right.

Look, I see nothing wrong with eating less meat and minimally cruel ways of killing food animals but the world will no become vegetarian. Its naive for PETA to think it'll happen. Things like this will just make people take them less seriously.
