That's hilarious. And it reminds me it's time to feed my kitties.
What if the campaign backfires and we start to consider what kitties would do to us if our sizes were reversed?

Those conservationists and me, in a sound-proof room. We would have so much fun.
I bet their meat is kind of tough and stringy though. Probably make good stir-fry. Mmm, oyster sauce...I mean
sea-kitten sauce.

Didn't PETA petition a major ice cream company to use breastmilk for their foods?
They're fucking idiots.

Seems that's the question raised by the SeaKitten campaign. What grounds are we using to decide the worthiness of others?
.
Fair enough, I'm just noting that most of us would draw a worthiness line
somewhere. Lots of cute animals aren't just cute, they're more advanced\complex lifeforms also. And even for those who would wish to equally value the ugly animals, are they really going to put an earwing or a jellyfish at the same level as a panda?

Doesn't make em more important. Liking more 'advanced' lifeforms is just another form of anthro-bias, every part of an ecosystem is invaluable in some way (Even us, at the moment - I read an interesting article on what species would actually go extinct if we left the planet as it is, there were a few surprises. Cheetahs, frinstance). I suspect PETA's point (in a really bent way) is that if we are to end up with a functioning planet that's still got pretty landscapes to hang around in, we need to get beyond assuming different 'levels' of species.

We can't even see the equality of each other. One superficial blemish, perceived or real, may be enough to neutralise one's affability.
No sea-kittens in my backyard!

Ah, yes, I was being a bit slow not looking at it that way.
