No more fish for the Aquarium!

I was watching the news last night and there was this story of PETA protesting agains't the Long Beach Aquarium (which is about 20miles from LA) for having fish in their cafeteria menu! So I looked it up on the news and found the full article here:

Wed Jun 29, 9:11 AM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - An animal rights group has called on one of the largest aquariums in the United States to stop serving fish to its visitors, likening the practice to grilling up "poodle burgers at a dog show."

"It's easy to think of fish as swimming vegetables but of all the places in the country where fish should get a fair shake it's an aquarium," said Karin Robertson, manager of the Fish Empathy Project for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.

Robertson sent a letter to the Aquarium of the Pacific in Long Beach, near Los Angeles, asking directors to take fish off the cafeteria lunch menu, adding: "Serving fish at an aquarium is like serving poodle burgers at a dog show."

She said that recent studies show that fish are surprisingly "intelligent, sensitive and interesting animals" and that the aquarium was contradicting that message by cooking them for lunch.

Jerry Schubel, aquarium president, said in a statement that the facility served only sustainable and environmentally friendly fish and was committed to educating the public about conserving ocean environments.

Comes up as an error. But all members of PETA should be shot and pissed on. Just an opinion.

Though I'm mainly a vegetarian...I do eat fish....Maybe cause they don't show much emotion.

peta should all be fed to the lions.

OMG!!!! EATING FISH AT AN AQUARIUM!!!!!

HELLOOOOOO!!??!?!?!?!?!? they feed fish to other carnivorous fish. why is it so immoral for humans to partake in the luxury?

next they'll be protesting my local japanese restaurant for having an aquarium at the sushi bar 😖

so much brutallity is commited toward animals and these pathetic losers are busy parading at an aquarium with their thumbs up their asses. kill em all

These guys are really idiotic... A look a Puma lets leave it out there in the middle of a forest eating animals and possibly attacking humans. Taking it back to the zoo is so cruel...

(Something on the Dutch news)

People like that should be shot and taken away, priorities people... If I want to eat Fish I should be able to do it. Does it really matter where I do it?

Does PETA actually serve any decenty purpose other than aging college professional students who needed their own clique because noone else could stand their whiny asses & patchouli oil smell??

they exist because animals lack the ability to say "get the f*** away from me you dumb smelly hippie!!!"

I think the validity of the protest begins and ends in the name.

grrrrrrr.....still miffed over this

now we cant even eat fish

somebody needs to kill these hippies

It is kind of weird.

I could see why they would complain, because its an Aquarium place.

Well...actuyll no....ok...what do big fish eat?....any takers...what was it again?...and Orca Whales...they ate something I forgot...what was it again....arghhhh

Yes. I know

Although it is kind of funny they would serve fish though

Why?.....Cause fish doesn't taste good...if thats the reason I agree...except for that....**** PETA

Personally I like them 😛

why is it odd yaya?

ever go to the zoo and get a hot dog or burger from a vender?
is that so odd and immoral? well, you are eating a mammal in a place which showcases mostly mammals, so whats the difference?
