The Animal ‘Rights’ nutcases have been active in Europe for a while but not quite to the fruitcake level seen in the US. The Sinn Fein to their I.R.A. is PETA (People For The Ethical Treatment of Animals).

They’ve just launched their most nutty campaign yet: demanding fish be renamed “sea kittens”. They think that 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 asks on its website (no link provided to the nutcases from here).

You can’t make this stuff up.
