I had to look a little further into this and pulled these "semi out of context" bites...

"Fish are so misunderstood because they're so far removed from our daily lives," said Karin Robertson, 24, the Empathy Project manager and daughter of an Indiana fisheries biologist. "They're such interesting, fascinating individuals, yet they're so incredibly abused."

Seriously, until you have discussed Freud with a Mackeral you just can't appreciate all they have to offer!

"Most people dismiss fish as dimwitted pea-brains. ... Yet this is a great fallacy," wrote University of Edinburgh biologist Culum Brown in the June edition of New Scientist. "In many areas, such as memory, their cognitive powers match or exceed those of 'higher' vertebrates, including non-human primates."

Will they be able to do sign language with their fins?

PETA also will urge changes in commercial fishing practices, for example proposing that trawler crews stun fish before cutting them up.

Give them some Dubya sound bites, that oughta stun them!

Vegetarianism ultimately travels in the direction (circular) of humanitarianism (i.e. ISPP--independently sustainable people for people).

Oh! No! Don't slay that potato!
Let us be merciful please!
Don't boil 'em or dice them.
Or even deep-fry them.
Don't slice them or flake them.
FOR GODS SAKE DONT BAKE THEM!
Don't shed the poor blood of some poor helpless spud
Its the worst kind of thing you can do.
Oh! No! Don't slay that potato
It never did nothing to you.

Heard that on NPR about 20 years ago.
What a relief! To find out after all these years that I'm not crazy. I'm just culinarily divergent...

fish with feelings

of course, who is gonna tell a shark or a barracuda not to eat other fish?
i'll turn vegetarian when PETA can get all the predator fish to give up their
sinful ways and start surviving on kelp.

I take umbrage at the slander of peas and other vegetables not present here to defend themselves.
