PETA wants Spearfish High School name change

The activist animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals has asked school officials to change the name of Spearfish High School to “Sea Kitten High School.”

The new name would “reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake,” the organization said in a letter to Steve Morford, Spearfish High School principal.

PETA said the letter is part of a new Sea Kitten campaign aimed at children.

If children were taught to refer to fish as “sea kittens,” reflecting that fish, like cats and dogs, are “individuals” that “do have friendships,” fewer fish might be killed for food or sport, said Pulin Modi, a PETA spokesman.

SEA KITTENS? Give me a BREAK! They seriously need to get a life of their own to worry about.

Meanwhile, the Chief will continue his enthusiastic activity in the OTHER version of PETA: People Eating Tasty Animals.
