  • PETA petitions Spearfish school to change name to Sea Kitten High

    From the sad realm of the pot smoking PETA activists:

    A Northern Hills high school should change its name, according to People for the Ethical Treatment.

    According to a PETA news release, the animal-rights organization has sent a letter to Spearfish High School principal Steve Morford urging him to change the school name of the school to Sea Kitten High.

    The move, according to the release, is to encourage area residents to refer to fish and other marine animals as sea kittens.

    "If Spearfish High School became Sea Kitten High and everyone in town starts calling fish 'sea kittens,' fewer of these gentle animals would be violently killed for food, painfully hooked for 'sport,' or cruelly confined to aquariums," PETA's "Save the Sea Kittens" campaign coordinator Ashley Byrne said. "Schools strive for achievements in academics and sports, so why not add compassion to the list?"
    I don't know what they are smoking but this is definately a hilarious read. Spearfish hasn't been Uber competitive in many sports lately.
    Sea Kitten High sounds like an fun place to go

    Next thing you know, Pfizer will be suing Deadwood to change its name because of possible copyright infringement... i.e. Viagra!

      Can people sue PETA for being stupid?

      Sea kittens???? I'm sure no area teams would mock that nickname! Let's see...sea refers to water and water is wet. Kittens, well another name for cats is p@*sy. Hmmmm, I wonder where they could go with this one. Great idea PETA, let the kids from sea kitten high be tortured instead of possibly harming the image of fish.

      Is this article even for real? It's just too stupid.

          Spearfish athletics need some (ALOT) of help but I don't think changing there mascot to Sea Kittens will do it.... But hey I'm all about change so why not?

          Heck Peta would probably want Yankton High School to go back to the Buck Indians logo rather then the Bucks and Gazelles

            PETA wants them to change the name of the high school....not the mascot.

              if they want sea kitten to replace fish shouldn't they change the name to Spear Sea Kitten High?

                Spearing Kittens? What has happened to PETA? My money will only go to the SPCA from now on (Smart People Chewing on Animals)

                    What probably happened was some PETA member drove through Spearfish and saw all 3 of the statues in town that have a fish with a spear through it and was upset by it....

                    Now personally even though I live there I could care less, heck change the name of the city for all i care....

                    I'm all for the ethical treatment of animals but PETA looses its creditability when it does this....

                      Apparently this is not limited to just Spearfish. Whitefish, Montana has been contacted too:

                      Actually, I think that this subject leads to the possibility of a whole new type of Sushi Bars . . .

                        Some of those articles in there just seem fake to me. I don't know what it is. Sad part is that it's real. I don't have any problem with vegetarians or PETA for that matter, but these people are way overboard. Reading this article about the lobster and the comments underneath just made me laugh!

                            I hope people understand that my previous post where just jokes as I live in Spearfish, and thought it was hilarious what PETA was asking for....
