Sympathy for the guppy: PETA campaign pitches fish as smart and sensitive Tuesday November 16, 2004 By DAVID CRARY AP National Writer NEW YORK (AP) Touting tofu chowder and vegetarian sushi as alternatives, animal-rights activists have launched a novel campaign arguing that fish contrary to stereotype are intelligent, sensitive animals no more deserving of being eaten than a pet dog or cat. From: "groovy" My Shubunkin are as dumb as a bag of hammers. There is no way they can fool me with that one. Now if they had said that cats are as dumb as fish, I could get behind that idea. I always find it curious that people think intelligence has something to do with the value of one's life. If that were the case than half the people in the world should be eaten along with the fish. We eat pigs every day which are known to be at least as smart as dogs and yet eating dogs would be a jailable offense to most people. I am not a supporter of PETA and I eat meat all the time but I am certainly not under the illusion that just because I am smarter and more adaptable than most animals, that I am somehow a supreme being whose life is much more valuable than theirs. I think respect for animal life is a good thing and shows that at least some in society are moving toward cooperation instead of competition. I believe it is the only way we will advance as a society. This is not a personal attack, just an observation. |
