PETA WATCH

It seems the city of San Francisco isn't a huge fan of the violent vegan lobby People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA).

The team at PETA WATCH has spied some crabtastic seafood at the Fishermans Wharf precinct and despite the Californian recession hordes are tucking in to huge bowls of clam chowder and local fresh crabs with gusto.

The precinct also hosts an artisan baker who is famous for shaping its delicious sourdough into breads that look like crabs.

But when we got talking to the locals about PETA and its campaign to change the name "fish" to "sea kittens" the locals were broadly unimpressed.

"That won't catch on around here, no way", said a pragmatic fellow working at a store.

"What do I think of the idea? Its stupid. Who wouldn't think it was stupid? Fish are fish and crabs are crabs and that's that as far as I'm concerned."


"I love these crabs and I'm gonna be eating em' for as long as they're here", remarked a lady with her husband.

"PETA are nuts", said another worker through a laugh that suggested both disbelief and belief at the idea at the same time.

Looks like the locals will be enjoying their tasty bay-side offerings without guilt for a long time time yet!

And PETA Donors who payed for its campaign can see how effective it has actually been.
