More On Sea Kittens

Stephanie urged me to mention the "Sea Kitten Stories" on the PETA website, which you can access here. I hadn't even seen these when I wrote the earlier post, but they definitely bear mentioning. It's an illustrated book, with stories of sea kittens and the cruel things humans do to them. Here's one tale, reproduced in its entirety:

Tony the Trout is the smartest Sea Kitten in his school. Already litter-trained at 2 months old, Tony went on to double-major in neuroscience and environmental studies at Clamford University, eventually graduating with honors. (Accompanying this is a drawing of a fish throwing his graduation cap into the air.)

When Tony is caught and fed to a precocious young child who, having eaten one mercury-filled sea kitten too many, falls to the bottom of the class, the irony is not lost on him. (Accompanying this is a drawing of a sad kid, staring at the skeleton of the fish he just ate, and for some reason the aforementioned graduation cap is also on the table.)

That isn't even the best one. I encourage you to look yourself.

Those stories are kind of disturbing. They had to have had the winner of some crazy person contest write that book. Cat souffle anyone?
