Sea Kittens Overboard!

Well PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals) has finally run off the rails. Not just derailed. Off the tracks over the edge into the abyss of idiocy.

Here is an article from today's Courier Mail (Friday 09/01/2009)

A CAMPAIGN to rename fish as "sea kittens" in order to improve their image has been ridiculed by the Federal Opposition.

Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the "sea kitten" name as part of its push to restrict fishing.


"Nobody would hurt a sea kitten!" the group says on its
website.

Full Story here:

So now NowhereBob will be a Sea Kitten Pig.

And Rhino won't get these pettin sea kitty cats.

(BTW, where is Rhino? Any heard from him?)

Roflmao. Does it surprise you, really?.

People like that want us to drink sunshine and eat clouds. They want us to make our houses out of good intentions and heat ourselves with love. They want your kids to ALL be highly educated for free and crime is a product of society and the governments failings, NOT actually a product of human nature and its intolerance of EVERYTHING, including itself.

Yes, why not, lets call fish 'Sea Kittens', and then we'll make money a product of the devil and run the 'Sea Shepard' on morals and grass clippings. A bi-product of solar lawn mowers, of course.

Total fuckwits mate.

So not happy with trying to wreck our wool industry they're also trying to take our Barramundi as well? Well they'll take my beachcaster out of my cold dead hands...

Wonder what shellfish will be? Sea puppies?

Arrr, Chaz me hearty ye beat me to the 'cold dead hands' line.

What a bunch of fuckwits. Dead set, I'd sooner be referred to as a Raving Monster Looney Red Neck Facist Pig than a PETA supporter or the AniLibber from Brit. They are obviously not 'people of the book' where we hold dominion over beasts in the field and fish in the sea. Ah Ha! so thats why they want to change the name.
I wonder what will Catholics do on Fridays?

Mmmm-beer batter fried sea kitten fillets!

See-still doesn't sound too bad!

NowhereBob said...

Ahh that road to hell paved with you know what.
I am convinced that Stalin, Hitler & Mr. P.Pot all believed that they were doing what was right for their country.
I similarly believe that these nut-bags don't roll off the futon each morning and scan about for someone else to irritate, that they are motivated by the best of intentions.
But fair suck of the sao.
When will they attend the beam in their own eye?

One of my alltime pet hates is the term do-gooder. Why the hell should it be a bad thing to try and help your planet / fellow man?
I'll tell you why - ignorant butt-munchers like this PETA mob.

& yeah I've been in Email contact with the Rhino. He's been busy goring the JSPace vandals.

I actually remember the real PETA site, what a thorn in their side it was. If we had reality in injectable form we could cure their delusional state.

Caught some sea kitties up at Port Macquaire on my holidays. Bloody nice they were too. To get them to the eating stage I had to rake off their scales and rip out their guts. Should have videoed it for PETA. The pelicans and seagulls were appreciative of the bream and flathead offcuts.

SAVO said...

You evil bastards make it sound so bad it must be good.

Crisp skinned sea kitten fresh off the barbie. Bit of oil and salt Mmmmmm dead scorched sea kitten gargle gargle gargle

Big Bad Al said...

Thanks Guys and Gal. I can see a new cookbook; 101 ways to cook Sea Kittens.

G-B thanks. Since posting I've seen Rhino tracks especially down by the water at dusk. We just have to find his mating grounds.

Savo, have you got a home yet or are you living with that community under the bridge.
