Sea Kittens
"Sea kittens are just as intelligent (not to mention adorable) as dogs and cats..."

Is this honestly for real, PETA? Just how idiotic do you take us for?
Fish. Kittens. Bear absolutely NO resemblance to each other WHATSOEVER. The only person who could possibly be swayed in even the slightest by this campaign is someone who currently does not know any of the characteristics of a fish. But, to have been exposed to this campaign this said person will have to have been to exposed to some sort of the media. And if you have access to the media, even if you haven't ever encountered a fish in real life, you have most likely seen a fish. A wet, slimy, scaly, not endearing in even the slightest, fish. So if PETA wants to gain any new fish-rights activist recruits with this campaign, they're going to have to change their strategy--I suggest to handing out fliers in dry, land-locked, technology-free areas--and they just may have a chance.
The website claims: "Nobody Would Hurt a Sea Kitten!" And maybe this is true. If cartoon fish dressed in adorable kitty costumes existed. But wow, I sure as Hell would want to hurt this this thing: http://www.bountyfishing.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2007/08/fangtooth-fish1.jpg Which, and I know you were probably having a hard time distinguishing this, is a fish, not a kitten. "What?!" you say. "But they're so similar! I could never even fathom harming something that bears such a striking resemblance in both physical features and personality traits to one of my society's most beloved pets!"
It's true.
