Sea Puppies?! January 2, 2009

First there were sea kittens. Now, I give you sea puppies:

Volkswagen's commercial for the new SpaceFox car shows a half-dog, half-fish animal and his loving guardian. We think it's sweet that this "sea puppy" (as I like to call him) is his human's best friend, and it even reminded us of our campaign, of course!

Sea puppies, other than being adorable—give people the wake up call that all animals feel, whether they're cute and cuddly like your dog, or a little scaly like a fish. You wouldn't kill someone and eat them because you didn't like the way they look, would you? And you certainly wouldn't kill and eat your dog. Put it together people—fish aren't swimming veggies, and there's nothing cute or compassionate about eating them! Oh yeah—and if anyone tries to tell you that fish don't feel pain, you can ask them if they still think the world is flat, too.

PETA is nominating Volkswagen for a Glitterbox Award! Glitterbox Awards are given to companies that portray animals in a positive manner, and we think VW is quite deserving in this case.

We know that dogs and fish both need love, so it's awesome that Volkswagen can encourage the world to think of them as intelligent creatures who can be part of the family—not part of dinner.
