PETA Harassing Children For Eating Fish

Group Passes Out Controversial Cards to Children

El Paso, Texas - Students at a Northeast El Paso Middle School are subjected to the "ugly side" of eating fish and parents are upset. People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) targeted Terrace Hills Wednesday morning for getting their anti-fish eating message out.

PETA caused an uproar by handing out "trading cards" and fliers just outside of Terrace Hills Middle School. A PETA member, dressed in a giant fish costume, carried a sign saying "fish are friends, not food."

The member not only passed the trading cards, but fliers as well, to children who walked by. The location was a concern to some as Terrace Hills is next door to Collins Elementary School, where the cards could have been distributed to children as young as 4 years of age.

PETA is using the trading cards, with cartoon characters such as "ill Bill" and "wicked Wanda", to get the message to kids that eating fish is "hazardous, unhealthy and cruel."

According to the "ill Bill" card students received, Bill became ill because "he ate poop-filled fish since says fish swim in their own poop." On the "wicked Wanda" card, children are told that Wanda is wicked because, "she's so mean because the fish she ate for dinner felt a lot of pain when it was killed."

Parents ABC-7 spoke with say the cartoon trading cards is a sneaky way for PETA to promote its own agenda. Additionally, some parents said that PETA had no business attempting to contact their children.

Since PETA did not have permission to go on school grounds, an officer had to escort them across the street.

The thing that wasn't posted was the third card, "Bestial Bobby". It taught children that "Bobby's facing famine cuz he was busy slammin' the salmon."

That is fucking hilarious :)


Who wants to place bets on when PETA or an offshoot starts commiting acts of terrirism? Stupid assholes. i swear, i will commit an act of violence if they EVER do any of this shit to my kids.

Regardless of their views, it is immoral as hell to use kids to further a political agenda.

You ever see that episode of South park with PETA? They're all packed in this camp, "living" with the animals. One guy is married to a llama and he starts making out with it, a man and a duck had a child (a horrible mutant that begs for death the entire episode) and the camp is led by a goat... just a goat.

And PETA has a good message to some extent, but they take it WAY to far. Animals should be treated more fairly.....but most of the stuff they do is just rediculous.
