On the PETA paged entitled ‘Save the Sea Kittens!’ PETA claims that “People don’t seem to like fish” and that “we’re going to start by retiring the old name for good.” PETA urges members to sign a petition asking the US Fish and Wildlife Service to stop the “hunting of sea kittens (otherwise known as fishing)”. PETA argues that “Sea kittens are just as intelligent (not to mention adorable) as dogs and cats, and they feel pain just as all animals do.” Sadly, after yesterdays news, it would seem that kittens have a few problems of their own to worry about, so maybe PETA should chose a new approach.

<![CDATA[He'll be feeling a bit wuff this morning.]]> Forget Posh and Becks, meet the new darling of New York:

James, a six-year-old English springer spaniel, whose adorability won him Best in Show at the Westminster Kennel Club Show. During his 13-hour victory media blitz, James appeard on the Today Show,Fox News and Charlie Rose, tried to hump Martha Stewart's leg, pissed on Henry Kissinger (oh how we wish that were true), and sniffed the multi-billionaire crotch of Bill Gates.

Later that night he was spotted making out with P Diddy in Bunglow 8. Down boy!
