PETA goes after Seattle's Pike Place Fish Market...for throwing fish
MyNorthwest.com ^ | 6/9/09 | AP

Posted on 06/09/2009 3:09:52 PM PDT by hoagy62

PETA has taken a stand against one of the most popular tourist attractions in Seattle - the fish market at the Pike Place Market that tosses salmon. PETA heard that the American Veterinary Medical Association planned a Pike Place Fish Market demonstration at next month's convention at the convention center.

Uh, excuse me PETA...but I have some news for you: The fish are DEAD. Passed on. Shuffled off this mortal coil. Pining for the fjords. They are EX-fish. They have no clue they are part of a tourist attraction that has delighted people for decades.

These PETA idiots are certifiably insane.

You’re 100% correct - those fish are deader than a ...mackerel... (Sorry, that’s lame but couldn’t resist). But that doesn’t matter, some evil person is going to buy and (shudder) eat that poor fish!

The freaks from PETA must be bored. It would explain why they want people to become aware of the plight of dead fish. Next thing you know they’ll be running around screaming about all those dead squirrels along country roads, and how those evil people are deliberately killing those beautiful creatures. They will call for the banning of cars ;)

As an ex-resident of the Pacific Northwest, I knew this day was coming. Fish “tossing” has been around for decades at Pike Place.
On the other hand, PETA’s right...just “throw” the damn fish on the frying pan instead. Yum...

How about these PETA f***tards go pay Cap’n Sig from Deadliest Catch a visit. I’ll bet he and his crew could ‘splain it to ‘em.

These PETA folks are no dummies. This is how they troll for more politicians to fork over more grant money.

PETA receives $20-30 million in annual income, much of which comes from grants from politicians bought off by PETA’s campaign contributions.

"The fish are DEAD. Passed on. Shuffled off this mortal coil. Pining for the fjords. They are EX-fish. They have no clue they are part of a tourist attraction that has delighted people for decades."

Perfect! We were thinking alike.

Of course, they should be called "sea Kittens" now!

PETA has offered to replace all the dead animals with rubber fish instead.

Those who have never seen the Pike Place Market are missing something.

What's PETA going to complain about next? That it's inhumane to crowd sardines in those litle cans?

There should be a counter demonstration against PETA with silly string firing away at will covering each and every one of them with globs of it.

Oh heavens no! If they were to do that they would wind up in the holding tanks or even in the crab pots for the duration of the season.

We should write the History Channel or whatever they’re on to suggest an entire episode of Deadliest Catch seaman’s justice doled out to various ‘animal rights’ groups.

Let’s see...
Make the PETA pussies ‘eat the herring’.
Keelhaul the Save the Whales gang.
Strap Sierra Club members to the frontof the pot stack to keep the freezing spray off the pots.
Substitute any of them for crab pot bait.
