RADICAL international animal rights group PETA has launched its most bizarre campaign yet, demanding fish be renamed "sea kittens".

PETA - People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals - believes calling fish sea kittens will make sea food less appealing.

It wants to change the image of fish as slimy and slithery creatures by claiming they are similar to cuter, more popular animals. "Would people think twice about ordering fish sticks if they were called sea kitten sticks?" PETA asked on its website.

Wouldn’t that make Cats cannibals?

Mmmmmmmmmmmm..sea kittens.

[lymelady]

I would order more. I mean, I’m allergic to fish, but I’d bring an epi pen if they started calling it sea kittens.

That sounds adorable!

[Osage Orange]

There are plenty of jokes...here.

I will step aside to the masters.......

Please don’t do this. Jessica Simpson is already confused enough about “Chicken of the Sea”.

Seems to me I’d heard about this quite a while ago. I think they’re nutz. They understand that language control = thought control (They can read Orwell as easily as we can), but they think they can simply declare changes in the language. Hubris.

Frozen fish sticks are gross, but grilled salmon is good.

This might work, except in countries where kitten is part of the diet.

depends on the type of sea kittens.....but they are always delicious....
