Well, it’s been a while since I posted on my blog. It’s not that I had other important things to do, it just boils down to laziness on my part. Maybe I can do better this time. At least until I get bored again.
I read an interesting news story. Seems PETA wants us to start calling fish “Sea Kittens”. They seem to believe that if we call them that we will no longer want to eat them. Who wants to eat kittens? Apart from a few Asian countries my guess is no one.
I’m not really certain who is running PETA but the whole “Sea Kitten” has Junior High School written all over it. Great idea if you’re a twelve year old girl. Crappy idea if you’re an adult.
I actually agree with PETA on certain issues but stunts like this do not help their image with the public. God help us if this idea works. Soon everyone will be renaming things. They might start calling Hamas “Desert Squirrels” or illegal immigrants “Undocumented Fluffy Bunnies”. I don’t think we’ll have to worry about this though. Associating fish with something cute and fluffy isn’t going to change people’s actions. Just look at what they do to baby Harp Seals and they really are cute and fluffy.

Y’know, ‘Sea Kittens’ would really be a good name for a rock band.
Thanks for updating this. (Finally.)
