Members of PETA said there's something fishy going on in Albany.
A group from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals were protesting outside Bob and Ron's Fish Fry on Central Avenue Thursday.
It's all part of their Fish Empathy Project, which spreads the word about research they said shows fish are just as intelligent as cats and dogs.
PETA feels places like Bob and Ron's supports what they said are horrible practices of commercial fishing and fish farms.
As part of PETA's Fish Empathy Project, members rallied outside Bob and Ron's Fish Fry in Albany on Thursday.
Karin Robertson of PETA said, "Eating fish is supporting such abysmal cruelty to animals. If other animals were subjected to the same type of torture that fish are subjected to before they're eaten, people would be in jail for felony cruelty to animals charges."
PETA wants people to think of fish as "friends, not food" and to care for them like you would a cat or dog.

Fish have a memory attention span of apx. 3 sec. How intelligent can you be with that short of a memory?

PETA does know that "Finding Nemo" was a cartoon and not a documentary?

I have a few slogans for the good folks at peta.
Save a fish, eat a shark.
Save a fish, beat a seal.

That video is priceless. You can almost see the life draining out of the pale little petaette on camera.
