It's Not PETA, But It's Close

Surprisingly, the above ad (NSFW, unless your work is burlesque- and/or violence-friendly) isn't part of PETA's "sea kittens" campaign, but it might as well be. Objectification of women? Check. Making fish "sexy"? Check. Somehow drawing a parallel between killing a person with harming a fish? Check. The PSA is from Dutch animal rights group Wakker Dier ("awake animal"), but we fully except PETA to recruit some local burlesque performers the next time they need to protest Pike Place Market fish-throwing.
