Maybe Sewer Rat Really Does Taste Like Pumpkin Pie

Those fun loving goofballs at PETA are at it again. Their new campaign, the Fish Empathy Project, is the latest in a long line of tactics aimed at making life miserable for biped humanoids. In this instance they want fish added to the growing list of things we cannot eat:

"No one would ever put a hook through a dog's or cat's mouth," said Bruce Friedrich, PETA's director of vegan outreach. "Once people start to understand that fish, although they come in different packaging, are just as intelligent, they'll stop eating them."


Believe me, if sticking a hook in a poodle's lip and dragging it behind my car resulted in landing a big old juicy steer, I'd do it in a heartbeat. It's just not that practical. After a few miles there's not much left of the bait and it's really hard to drive when your back seat is full of yelping puppies.

I must admit, however, that these animal rights nut jobs might really have a point here:

Touting tofu chowder and vegetarian sushi as alternatives, animal-rights activists have launched a novel campaign arguing that fish - contrary to stereotype - are intelligent, sensitive animals no more deserving of being eaten than a pet dog or cat.

Consider me a changed man. Beginning tomorrow, I'm going to start eating cats.
