"They should be serving exclusively vegetarian food, not just for the health of their patrons but for the animals they contend to be supporting," she said Monday. "They don't sell elephant burgers at the zoo, and they shouldn't be selling fish at aquariums."

No, but they do serve chicken, beef, pork etc at the same zoos where they show chickens, cows, pigs.

And, in the same way, the aquariums I've been to don't serve EVERYTHING in the exhibits: no shark (usually), no manta rays, and, despite my pleading, no penguin-ka-bob.

And, on a serious note, I think one of the strongest arguments FOR protection and preservation of various species is that if they go extinct, we'll never again be able to enjoy the taste sensation they provide. If spotted owls tasted better than turkey in gravy, we'd have farms of them all over the place.

And what do they serve to the sharks at this aquarium?

I wounder if the fish screams for PETA when the shark eats him. Maybe we should feed PETA to the sharks. Since they are pretty hungry.

You know, with a little pepper...

I'd back her up if the shirt said, "Only Idiots Wear Fish".

So, the Petafiles are at it again...

These people are fascists.

Lots of Africans love to get the elephants, or they used to when the Brits still ruled, that hunters shot. It was the only source of protein available for many tribes.

They have to do something with the slow learners.

Think dark meat chicken, from a very dumb chicken.

If they don't report it, they'll either go away, or escalate and get put away. Either option rids us of their idocy.

Same goes for the subsidiary, Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine.

BTW, tonight our local news on KELO reported a health story about milk, partially based on one of their "reports", then added a disclaimer that "You should also know that the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine promotes a vegan diet, which means it doesn't support animal products as part of any diet."

I cheered when I heard it; it is about time they were outed, rather reported as a straight, unbiased source.

"serving fish at an aquarium is like serving poodle burgers at a dog show."

More like brats, corndogs, turkey legs, and burgers at the county 4H fair.

It reminds one of the link between field, farm, pond, and table.

Probably too gristly and chock full of drugs to be any good.

You oftten CAN get steak at a stock show.

And 4-H kids often sell their lambs or swine or chickens at shows to local groceries, restaurants or private buyers, right there at the Fair.

Sadly, no one will buy llamas accompanied with my recipe for "Llama Llasagna"

[MoochPooch]

PETA is really "out to lunch" on this one.

Re: elephant burgers. No, you won't find that at the zoo. Only hamburgers, hotdogs, etc.

It's the same principle. Livestock is "sustainable."
