Sea-kittens like these?
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

(Sorry. Couldn't resist.)
The most eye-rolly PETA thing I've seen lately was them having some women in yellow bikinis stand outside KFC with signs saying "KFC tortures chicks." (There was some Fox News commentator who responded to this by saying that there's no way that those women were vegan as claimed, because everyone knows vegans are ugly.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kittens, OTOH, are poker chips.

PETA has gone way 'round the bend.
When was PETA on this side of the bend?

Meanwhile, in breaking important news, it is reported that the Obamas have narrowed the choices down to Labradoodle or Portuguese Water Dog for the post of First Puppy.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Oh, PETA. You've done more damage to the cause of vegetarianism than the "Beef: It's What's For Dinner" campaign. Please kindly fuck off and die.
I don't foresee myself swimming up to a fish and exclaiming, "YOU'RE A KITTY!" At least, not without the aid of dementia.
::snerk:: I live with 2 cats. Do you know how often I walk up to them, make the Paul Gross arms, and say "You're a kitty!"??? It. Never. Gets. Old.
If I see a fish with the head of kitten I, for one, am not eating it.
Me, either.
Me, either, either.
But I *would* use it to place bets in my weekly poker game with Clem and the other demons.
t edit Ha! Kitten-poker x-post!
Also? In the PETA page that MM linked to, look at the cutsie drawings at the top of the page. The "sea kitten" on the far right looks like a fish BEING EATEN BY A CAT.
Excellent design, PETA people. Way to go.

Will they be able to find those breeds at a shelter, though?

Perhaps from a breed rescue.

I thought they already said that they were resigned to a non-shelter dog b/c low-allergen dogs are harder to find.
(OTOH, if you're the freaking President-Elect and you want a specific dog breed for your 2 cuter-than-should-be-allowed little girls, I guarantee you that every single shelter in the country is going to be on alert looking for your First Dog.)

They decided on a shelter dog after there was an outcry about them getting one from a breeder.
