| Disney joins forces with PETA/pro-fish
activists
October 9, 2003 Pro-fish activists have won permission from Disney to adapt a film poster for Finding Nemo to help promote vegetarianism to youngsters. Pressure group PETA -- People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, closely tied to domestic terrorist groups and a financial supporter of same -- says it is using the cartoon characters on leaflets, along with a two-metre tall fish, to persuade children not to eat fish. The film features a shark who attends a support group for vegetarians which uses the PETA slogan prominently. A spokesman for PETA (People of the Ethical Treatment of Animals) said: "We were delighted to see our tag-line 'Fish are friends not food' in the Finding Nemo movie. "The slogan is even being used on Finding Nemo pajamas." "We hope that after seeing Finding Nemo, children will agree that fish belong in the ocean, not on dinner plates." |
