I wonder if she'd feel the same way if they asked her to pay for it:

Irvine woman wants roadside memorial to honor fish killed in truck crash
Published October 30, 2012 | Associated Press

IRVINE, Calif. – An Orange County woman has asked the city of Irvine to erect a sign honoring hundreds of truck crash victims -- who were fish.

About 1,600 pounds of saltwater bass died on Oct. 11 when a container truck hauling them to market got into a three-way crash.

Dina Kourda, a local volunteer with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, wrote the head of street maintenance requesting a sign at the intersection to honor the fish.

Kourda's letter notes that while roadside memorials traditionally honor human beings, she hopes an exception will be made to remind drivers that all animals -- in her words -- "value their lives and feel pain."

Irvine spokesman Craig Reem tells the Los Angeles Times that no memorial is planned.

No problem. Let her buy the land, and pay for it.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA unbelievable, how about a fish fry , feed people and honor the fish as well. When people don't know where they belong on the food chain they are asking for a demonstration .

I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: "O Lord make my enemies ridiculous." And God granted it.

I LOVE IT!!!! If I had the money, I'd even PAY for it - a FREE Fish-Fry for the homeless to celebrate those fish giving their lives by their EXEMPLARY conduct and performance ABOVE AND BEYOND the CALL TO DUTY, while acknowledging the risk and danger and STILL performing to the level necessitating recognition for their performance ABOVE AND BEYOND the call to duty!!!

OOH RAH!!! SEMPER FI!!!

CHOW DOWN!!

Why don't they just cry over them like they do with the trees?

Yeah, I'd help pay for it as well. I'd want it to be a 30 foot marble fish flapping by the side of the road with a big "In memory of a noble bass."
Then I'd want that woman standing by it holding a eulogy for the fish, and have it filmed and put on YouTube.

These people are beyond parody, but I'd be willing to give it a good try.

I have a bad habit of skimming posts without really reading them. In this particular instance, my mind saw "bayonet ready" when "beyond parody" was what you actually wrote.

"PETA woman wants (Taxpayer funded) memorial to honor fish killed in crash"

I have no objection to loonies spending their OWN money on foolishness.

I said elsewhere that HAHAHAHAHA!!! is the only proper response to this level of asshattery. "Never argue with an idiot, they'll just drag you down to their level and beat you with experience." Public scorn and derision is all they deserve.
