I prefer puppy pate myself. Washed down with blended puppy juice, naturally.

My husband can't watch those underwater shows on PBS. They make him hungry.

Hmmmm. In EPCOT in Disney World, "The Living Seas" has a seafood restaurant where you watch the fish in the big aquarium. I always liked it.

Would PETA object to a steakhouse overlooking a cow pasture?

"Waitress? Gimme one of them there poodle burgers with a side of kitty-cat cole slaw and a shitzu slurpy to wash it all down."

The Monterey Bay Aquarium has a really nice shrimp salad, and I always wonder just how fresh the shrimp really is. I imagine some guy in the kitchen with access to one of the tanks, scooping out shrimp when they run low.

Sheesh. Do they get mad about zoos serving meat?

Oh, wait. They do.

Is blended puppy poodle concidered a delicacy?

And I can't get a salad at the botanical gardens any more? Vegetables are alive too, you know.

The poodle burger line reminded me of a Mexican restaurant I was in a few years back. They had an item on the menu called “burrito de Chihuahua”. I’m still kicking myself for not swiping one of those.

"Gut the menu... of fish and seafood."

Heh, that writer has a dry sense of humor.

The aquarium in Denver is owned by Landry's, the franchiser of Long John Silver's and Joe's Crab Shack, among others. There was an uproar when they served sushi for a fundraiser at the aquarium.

I've been at aquarium soirees where sushi's been served. Aside from the usual jokes about counting the number of fish, it's been fine. It's when they start offering a good deal on liver down at the local morgue that you have to worry.

I've always wondered what dolphin steak would taste like. They're not fish.

Personally, I prefer the Poodles 'N Noodles.

Washed down with a nice Jack Spaniels.

Anyone who would eat a puppy (or a full grown version thereof) is a dispicable excuse for a human being. Completely unworthy of oxygen.

Now a tasty kitten on the other hand....

rbj - I didn't mean there was an uproar at the fundraiser. The PETA people weren't happy when the sushi was reported in the paper the next day.

PETA should offer up the thousands of puppies and kitties they have previously euthanized for food rather than just tossing them in dumpsters. A little "cat chow mein" or "puppy on a stick" would be just the thing.
