Fish in the News

Since being back in Dutch the buzz around town among fishermen and observers has been the recent attempted campaign by PETA to rename fish "sea kittens". I don't know that the push to make fish more cute and cuddly has gotten off the ground - especially not here. Evidently, local kids interviewed regarding the campaign weren't buying it noting that fish weren't really all that cute or smart. Not to worry... the fishing industry doesn't seem to be phased by the whole thing. Personally I'm kinda bummed the renaming likely won't stick - it'd be kinda entertaining (in a dark kind of way) to be able to order kitten and chips or kitten-sticks.
