PETA Asks PBAU To Change Mascot Name
You can't make this shit up
WPBF-TV updated 12:45 p.m. ET, Thurs., Jan. 15, 2009 PALM BEACH GARDENS, Fla. - The animal-rights organization People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals is asking Palm Beach Atlantic University to change the name of its athletic mascot. In a letter sent Wednesday to PBAU President Dr. David Clark, PETA urged the school to change its mascot from the Sailfish to Sea Kitten "to reflect the gentle nature of its current marine namesake." The suggested name change is meant to promote empathy for fish and other marine animals, PETA said in a news release. "If Sailfish became Sea Kitten and everyone in town started calling fish sea kittens, fewer of these gentle animals would be violently killed for food, painfully hooked for sport or cruelly confined to aquariums," said PETA's "Save the Sea Kittens" campaign coordinator Ashley Byrne. "Colleges strive for achievements in academics and sports, so why not add compassion to the list?" A PBAU spokeswoman said the school would not comment about such a "ridiculous" request. |

Does that make goggle eyes and greenies "sea mice"?
the ocean is one of, if not the most violent ecosystems on this planet. If sailfish could communicate on our level they would tell us that they would eat their young if they had the opportunity to do so when they were hungry. Cute and cuddly my ass. In the ocean you get eaten when you are small, you get eaten when you are old, you get eaten when you slow down, or you get eaten when you are careless- nothing cute and cuddly about that. Walt Disney had it all wrong folks beleive me. |

PETA originally wanted to use the term "sea pussies", but they found out that Marlin Magnet has that name copywrited
