Goldfish bra and PETA

A DRAG FOR FISH
FISH have feelings, too, according to the folks at PETA, who are taking aim at writer Josh Kilmer-Purcell. The author, whose best-selling memoir, "I Am Not Myself These Days," chronicles his double life as an ad exec-cum-drag performer, was put on notice last week by the animal-rights group's "Fish Empathy Project" for alleged cruelty to goldfish. As his whip-cracking alter-ego, Aquadisiac, Kilmer-Purcell donned a pair of clear plastic breasts filled with live goldfish. Says PETA: "It would be, for you, like living in a covered bathtub that's constantly moving, tossing you around as you defecate in it. It's filthy, painful and terrifying for these animals."

I do feel sorry for the goldfish in the bowl...

but really... who shakes their fish tank on a regular basis? most of our fish (even the shyest ones) seem to get quite comfortable in our reefs right?

I gotta side with PETA on this one. Their analogy is right on, in this case.

That story makes me think I've heard almost everything now, but surely there are stranger things people do that have not yet come my way :lol: :razz:

PETA is a terrorist organization. NOTHX.
