A PETA ‘cat monger’ will serve up kitty fillets at Cardiff Market today in honour of World Vegan Day.

The kitten cutlets will be served up on trays of ice at two for £5 with “fresh local Siamese” for £8 a kilo and “whole boiled tabbies” for £6 each.

The campaign is being carried out on Wednesday (November 1) at 12 noon by the world’s largest animal rights organisation who say eating fish is no different to eating pets.

The “cat monger” will compete with the local fishmongers at Cardiff’s historical market in an effort to challenge ‘speciesism’ – the practice of treating one species as morally more important than members of other species.

PETA said it hopes the event will push locals to “see fish as intelligent, feeling individuals” and opt for vegan fare instead of meat.

    Just ignoring PETA here

    PETA’s actions are the point though.

    somehow it’s ‘fucking unhinged’ when it’s a cat.

    PETA’s action in trying to convince people that cats are not different to fish in the sea is, indeed, fucking unhinged.

    They’re all animals

    But they’re not all loved.

      How is it unhinged? It’s at a fish market where this literally happens every day to thousands of animals. How is this any different?

        How is it unhinged?

        It shows a lack of awareness of the mass mindset and lack of awareness of what kind of communication will be effective. The lack of awareness is so great, the communication so absurd, that it hints at minds detached from reality.

          Yeah I guess it might not be that effective, but I think the goal is to get people thinking about why one of them is ‘deranged’ and the other isn’t. I think it could definitely work on folks capable of a bit of introspection.
