Gotta love those PETA nuts!

 

PETA folks are in mourning. They have lost some dear, dear friends in a tragic traffic accident. They want a roadside memorial to these friends, and they want the City of Irvine, California, to pay for it.

 

Who were these dear friends whose lives were cut short? They were 1,600 pounds of saltwater bass being hauled to market. PETA spokesnut Dina Kourda says that the sign, "In memory of hundreds of fish who suffered and died at this spot," would remind drivers that fish value their lives. Spokesnut Ashley Byrne said, "They are on their way to slaughter . . . To suffer an accident on the way and be left in the middle of the street is unthinkable."

 

Irvine spokesman Craig Reem says there won't be a memorial to the dearly departed. I guess when PETA asked if he had any signs, he told them to, "Go fish."
