If you hadn't influenced the putty-like June7 and gotten my thread locked, you would have seen that dogs were an analogy for Mustangs, and cats were represented Volvos! I was thisclose to driving the point home, and possibly rescuing the Northern European economy in the process. But NO.....  
So, did you have sea kittens for dinner? | |

More proof that there's more to this cat thing than June7 will allow to be posted. Read this quick, before The Men In Black take it down:
Removing cats to protect birds backfires on island Buzz UpSendSharePrint By MICHAEL CASEY, AP Environmental Writer – Tue Jan 13, 9:18 am ET BANGKOK, Thailand – It seemed like a good idea at the time: Remove all the feral cats from a famous Australian island to save the native seabirds. But the decision to eradicate the felines from Macquarie island allowed the rabbit population to explode and, in turn, destroy much of its fragile vegetation that birds depend on for cover, researchers said Tuesday. Removing the cats from Macquarie "caused environmental devastation" that will cost authorities 24 million Australian dollars ($16.2 million) to remedy, Dana Bergstrom of the Australian Antarctic Division and her colleagues wrote in the British Ecological Society's Journal of Applied Ecology. "Our study shows that between 2000 and 2007, there has been widespread ecosystem devastation and decades of conservation effort compromised," Bergstrom said in a statement. The unintended consequences of the cat-removal project show the dangers of meddling with an ecosystem — even with the best of intentions — without thinking long and hard, the study said. http://news.yahoo.com/s/a...nfestation | |

IrresistibleB1tch said: Teacher said: But do you honestly see ANYBODY thinking of fish as sea kittens? This campaign will only serve to ridicule PETA (more) in the eyes of the public, and spends many valuable dollars that could be used to actually save animals. no, of course not. but it does drive home the point that it's not just the cute and cuddly ones that need protection. i've found that people who disagree with PETA will always see their actions as ridiculous, and people who support PETA find them imaginative. so, to a degree, i agree that PETA has created its own enemies, but at the same time, their points are quite valid.  I agree with you. | |

Yeah, I like that they are making fun of what I call "cutearians". People who only care about cute animals ("OMG, I would never eat lamb! It's a BAAAYYBEEE!!" I'll have the pork.") 
That said, I think PETA has been really stupid for a really long time. People think they're serious with this attention-grabbing stuff, and then we all look like nutcakes.  [Edited 1/13/09 21:12pm] "What's 'non-sequitur' mean? Do I look it up in a Fag-to-English dictionary?" | |

Bought a tank for them and everything....  I did too. "I saw a woman with major Hammer pants on the subway a few weeks ago and totally thought of you." - sextonseven | |
