Tourism officials on the Caribbean island of Grenada say they are concerned about dog owners snatching starfish out of the sea and throwing them like flying discs for their dogs to catch.

Has PETA been made aware of this atrocity?

Fielden said Saturday that treating starfish this way is "cruel and should be strongly discouraged."

The real reason is that the drying starfish made a bad stink, but this guy has to couch his objections in terms of cruelty to living things. Well, every time he craps, he consigns to oblivion more living entities in greater numbers than the cells in his body. So much for cruelty.

Or better: Fielden was reported to have said on the day before Sunday that behaving in such a manner with starfish is "cruel and should be strongly discouraged."

Well, yeah, but the dogs didn’t like the jellyfish that much.

If these starfish are like the ones here in Oregon, then I can’t understand how people are getting them off the rocks. You literally have to destroy the creatures by ripping off all their sucker feet to get them off the rocks. They aren’t just ‘floating’ around.
