I can see the first frame on the screen Chuck, of the poor fish's face. That looks like the commercial I'm talking about. It's very cruel isn't it? >:( :'(

They throw the fish back into the water at the end of the commercial, but not after letting him flip around and gasp for awhile. They could have easily done this with computer animation. They didn't need to use a REAL LIVE animal.

You're right about that.  Why they decided to use a real fish is beyond me.

Did you watch the commercial Chuck posted, Jess? If so, what did you think about it?

Hey David, I'm glad to see you be taking action on any kind of cruelty to animals. Thank you.


I stumbled across the following pictures (at the link) and I immediately thought of you.  :) If you haven't seen them already, perhaps they might cheer you up a bit. It's Mickey Rourke and his dog Jaws. Gotta love a tough guy who obviously cares so much for his lil' dog.  :)

Thanks for posting those pictures Mikaela!! I loved them! :D

well you have to remember what we do for a living, killing an animal is routine for us and fish are low down the list of critters I feel fondness for....but it was a cruel thing to do. It shows an appalling lack of feeling on the part of the people that made it...

Oh wait a minute Jess! I just saw the commercial again on TV. That number isn't for calling about abuses to animals, it is for calling about asthma attacks - which is good too and a good number to have handy if you are suffering with asthma. I emailed PETA about this commercial. I haven't heard back from them though.

well I think that since that is the people that MADE the commercial that calling them might be good too. They should know how the commercial is being seen...
