I found this and had to share:

A CAMPAIGN to rename fish as "sea kittens" in order to improve their image has been ridiculed by the Federal Opposition.
Outspoken animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) is using the "sea kitten" name as part of its push to restrict fishing.


PETA's campaign to rename fish 'sea kittens' | National Breaking News | News.com.au (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,27574,24891309-29277,00.html - broken link)

Personally I think they are off their rocker. A fish by any other name tastes just as good.

It gives new meaning to 'catfish' doesn't it? And think of all the recipes that would have to be revised: grilled fillet of kitten, kitten steak, bbq'd kitten, ad nauseum.

cattle are now "pasture puppies"

sheep "field hamsters"

pigs "barn pups"

chickens "henhouse canaries"
