People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, wants you to refrain from catching and/or eating fish.
According to Associated Press, Bruce Friedrich, PETA’s director of vegan outreach, said, “No one would ever put a hook through a dog’s or cat’s mouth. Once people start to understand that fish, although they come in different packaging, are just as intelligent, they’ll stop eating them.”
To press their argument, PETA activists plan demonstrations starting next month at selected seafood restaurants nationwide. PETA also will urge changes in commercial fishing practices, for example proposing that trawler crews stun fish before cutting them up.
