PETA Urges Phish To Change Name To Sea Kittens

In what I classify as a colossal waste of time, PETA has now asked the jam band Phish to change their name to the Sea Kittens. PETA sent a letter addressed to all the members of the band believing that the name change would gain empathy for fish.

"because few people are aware that fish are actually smart animals with personalities."

"For example, they communicate and develop relationships with one another, feel pain when injured (their lips are particularly sensitive, and they use them like we use our fingers), show affection by gently rubbing against other fish, and even grieve when other fish they like die"

"Phish has a long history of promoting social justice. Renaming the band Sea Kittens would be a great way to help sea kittens rock on, free from fishing nets and hooks, even if just for a day"

So, if your band name has an animal in it, be expecting your letter any day now.
