PETA’s latest campaign to get people to eat less fish has resulted in this gem of an advertising campaign. Their goal is to get the US Fish and Wildlife Service to stop allowing fish to be well fished. Using their words it’s:

Ask the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to Stop Promoting the Hunting of Sea Kittens
Given the drastic situation for this country’s sea kittens—who are often the victims of many major threats to their welfare and ways of life—it’s high time that the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) stop allowing our little sea kitten friends to be tortured and killed. Who’d want to hurt a sea kitten anyway?!
Sea kittens are just as intelligent (not to mention adorable) as dogs and cats, and they feel pain just as all animals do.
Please take just a few moments to send an e-mail to H. Dale Hall, the director of the FWS, asking him to stop promoting the hunting of sea kittens (otherwise known as “fishing”). The promotion of sea kitten hunting is a glaring contradiction of FWS’ mission to “conserve, protect and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats.”[/quote]
If this wasn’t an honest to god ad campaign I wouldn’t be laughing nearly this hard. Colbert, a leading expert on this subject matter, had this to say.
ohmigod, did you know that people from PETA DELIBERATELY murder innocent garden kittens and tree babies, chopping them up while they’re STILL ALIVE and then drowning them in vinegar and olive oil, maybe with a crunch of black pepper. and then they EAT THEM.
euphemistically refer to them in that condition as SALAD, so you don’t know that you’ve just eaten a living being. we should all exist solely on Cheeze Wiz and Twinkies, because as God knows, there’s nothing organic in them.

And maybe fruit.
