Whole new levels of batshit...
Not wank in the traditional sense, but c'mon. It's PETA. They're wanky all by themselves, often without even trying. Their newest not-so-new campaign? Save the Sea Kittens!

That's right. Sea kittens.

What, you ask, is a sea kitten? Just look at your local fish market, and you can find all sorts of cruelly butchered sea kittens! Trout kittens and sole kittens and cod kittens and haddock kittens.

Yup. This batshit is to make us feel like horrible, horrible people for killing fish by calling them kittens, because what sort of monster would kill and eat a kitten?!

The site really speaks for itself, complete with a form letter to send to your congressperson, a "dress up your kitten" game, and that old PETA standby, the rather graphic, overblown "children's story" that turns animals into neuroscientists (I'm not kidding) and humans into murderers.

Personally, I enjoy my sea kittens battered and fried and served with British chips. Mmm, sea kittens and chips...

Edit: My bad, it's not new to some people.

I think it was ALF or someone else who tried just that. They sabotaged the brakes and refrigerators on a bunch of trucks loaded with frozen shellfish in the Chicago area some years ago, ignoring that the critters were already dead.

The brakes?

Because the lives of humans are inferior to the lives of dead shrimp, right?

Well, potentially this would be the proper sabotage of air brakes, which prevents the brakes from being "off" (i.e. until the brakes are fixed the truck doesn't move at all).

These trucks didn't have air brakes if I remember right but the puddles gave it away that something was up.

So, they left the puddles of brake fluid? I'd like to think that they were trying to protect the lives of the drivers, but I'm not sure about that.

Of course! Dead shrimp would check to see why there's puddles all over the garage floor, unlike humans!
