Those Funny Folks at PETA Are at it Again

They cry a lot. You have to test the salinization of the tank water to really know.

how a little beastie like a fish,

and more importantly - where has BEESTIE been for the last month?

My Oscars just look at whatever anyone else is eating, and you can tell they're thinking "Give me that...want that...feed me that."

They also think that while they're looking at the cats...and my fingers...and the feeder fish I put in there with them.

If we eat sushi, is it okay, then? 'Cause that's raw fish, and that's what other fish eat.

One of my favorite Chinese restaurants (Abacus in Lansdale, PA) has a huge tank with all kinds of interesting and mysterious looking fish including an angelfish, a lionfish, and a really pissed off looking eel.

Towards the end of the night they throw a whole bunch of leftovers (looks mostly like egg roll innards) at the fish.

Yantze, where I've gone for Chinese New Year the last few years is Abacus' sister restaurant and they feed their koi in the pond that runs along the side wall in a similar manner.

Let us not forget, however, that PETA has done some outstanding things that many of you gentlemen here CAN appreciate. For instance, they persuaded Paty Manterola, one of Mexico's hottest actresses, to pose naked in a cage with her entire body painted as a tiger in order to protest the un-natural performances that Ringling Brothers Circus was forcing their animals to do. The idea was to show Hispanics that they should boycot the circus. Somehow I don't think the message got across...

I am wholeheartedly in support of PETA's efforts to parade around nude people, and I support their right, nay, their *imperative* to do so.

I like to look at the news pics of such events while eating a big, juicy steak.

PETA's campaign in the US attempted to get well-known actresses to stand nude behind a sign that said "I'll go naked before I'll wear fur". There is a photo of that somewhere too. The names of better-endowed actresses who participated slips my mind at this time, but I remember that they got busted (forgive the pun) by some of New York's Finest before things got out of hand (sorry, the puns keep slipping out) :p

Well, some fish like to eat us, too, 'specially if we're swimming in the Gulf of Mexico. Fair is fair, I say.
