Hey, I just read this and thought how funny it was. PETA's latest capaign against fishing... It's pretty absurd. Do I believe fish should be slaughtered and abused with wild abandon - no, but not because I attribute any human qualities to them, only because I am conservation minded and like to see a stable, healthy fishery. Little do these people know, that often having a stable fishery depends on the harvest of fish.
Do these people consider the incredible economic boost that fishing brings to many people, businesses, and towns? No, because they don't care about people. They only care about animals, and that's wrong.
In the animal world, they kill and eat eachother all the time. It's called the food chain. Big fish eat little fish. Lions eat gazelles. Sharks eat seals. People eat everything else. What's the big deal? If PETA had it their way, all the predatory fish would have to eat carrots and the poor farm animals would be released into the wild only to starve to death. Somebody needs to get a grip on reality.

To say that fish have the same cognitive powers and feelings as non-human primates... I'm going to have to say "bunk" on that one. That's impossible. They don't have the cerebral cortex capable of thinking in that manner, they run on instinct and have a small memory capacity that allows them to become conditioned to their environments. Those so called oxford scientists are reflective of the extreme hippy liberalism found in many of today's universities. Quite
, really.
Peta quote of the day, "When it comes to feelings, a child is a dog is a fish."
I wonder what would happen if we could transport Peta members into a clan of nomadic hunter-gatherers thousands of years ago...

ie or a beer, we might be in trouble. The site refers to "sea kittens". For a minute I thought they were talking about catfish, and I was interested in finding where they recommend fishing for them, but then it became obvious that fish are peta's next domesticated pet. I think Peta would rather see Paris Hilton with a catfish sticking out of her handbag instead of a dog. Of course, every 7 seconds, the fish would forget who she is.
