On a lighter note to news of the current period — PETA has some concerns:

The animal rights group based in Norfolk, Va., renewed its call, first made nearly a decade ago, for Fishkill to change its name. The group now wants the town and village to be known as FishingHurts.com, which just happens to be the Internet address for a PETA Web site dedicated to the group’s “fish empathy project.”

Fishkill officials weren’t biting Wednesday.

The name Fishkill is actually derived from two Dutch words: Vis, for fish, and Kill, for stream or creek. PETA acknowledges the true meaning of the name, but said most who see Fishkill on a map wouldn’t know that.

Implied definition

“When they think of Fishkill, they think of abusing fish and that’s not the right message,” said Karin Robertson, manager of PETA’s fish empathy project. “By changing the name, Fishkill can send a positive message to people.”

PETA argues studies show fish are smarter than most people think.

PETA also offered to donate $15,000 worth of a soy-based, faux-fish product for school students in the town if the name is changed.

But local Fishkillers said PETA’s offer wasn’t likely to catch on.

But that goes against their way!! I’m a vegetarian and post occasionally on a veg message board. You should see the reaction when abortion gets mentioned–most people on the board seem to think it’s all right. I just don’t get it; how can it be morally wrong to drink milk (in their eyes) but it’s OK to kill human babies?? I honestly can see how anyone could rationalize that, but they do. I just avoid any of their threads that are political b/c I know I’ll just get annoyed. I’m all for not abusing animals; we should be better stewards of what God has created, but PETA and their like just tend to be wackos.

:rotfl: :bounce: The “B” is negotiable! :rotfl: :bounce:

But seriously, are we being too uncharitable here? :o …Naah, this is definately ludicrous!!! 😉
 
Out of curiousity I requested information from PETA bout going vegetarian. They are 100% certifiable, wackos. Their little pamphlet started with all the movie stars who were vegetarian. As if I really care which wacked out movie star won’t eat a steak.Then they went on to state how fish feel pain and mother pigs want to spend the rest of their lives with their babies…yeah right…

Be sure to have it with a glass of milk, and a honeybun for dessert, while wearing silk clothing, a fur coat, and leather shoes. Bring your pet dog, if you have one. :dancing:

But be prepared to duck. 😃

Have you ever viewed their photo of a few years back stating Jesus was a vegetarian and featuring Him with a halo of carrots and celery? I loved it!

I wait for them to address all the fish he helped the Apostles catch…and after all he passed out more fish during the Sermon on the Mount… :whacky: And He also told His followers to shake the dust off their sandals, which since plastic didn’t exist at the time, had to be leather… :rolleyes:

I wonder why the PETA people assume that brocolli does not scream a silent scream when eaten?

I mean after all, they KNOW fish are sentient beings! Why not broccoli?
