Past projects included referring to McDonald\u2019s and Burger King as \u201cMcCruelty\u201d and \u201cMurder King,\u201d and the 2003 \u201cHolocaust on Your Plate\u201d slogan, which compared some farming practices to tactics employed by the Nazis in World War II.<\/p>\n<p>PETA launched the Sea Kittens page on its Web site (<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.peta.org\/\"><span style=\"font-family:arial\"><em>www.peta.org<\/em><\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-family:arial\">) with the intent to appeal to children and their parents. The friendly animated characters link to interactive pages where users can create their own sea kitten, read sea kitten stories, and sign a petition. The term \u201cfishing\u201d is replaced with \u201csea kitten hunting.\u201d Fish are portrayed as intelligent, adorable, and as experiencing emotions of pain and loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Sea Kitten campaign hopes to create awareness about brutal fishing practices. PETA also wants to discourage people from eating fish in general. The petition, which has over 5,000 signatures, asks the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) to \u201cstop allowing our little sea kitten friends to be tortured and killed. Who\u2019d want to hurt a sea kitten anyway?!\u201d The site goes on to declare, \u201cThe promotion of sea kitten hunting is a glaring contradiction of FWS (Fish and Wildlife Service) mission to \u2018conserve, protect, and enhance fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats.\u2019\u201d<\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><\/span><br \/><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#660000\"><strong>Discussion Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">How do you feel about the \u201cSea Kitten\u201d campaign?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">What are some ethical ways of fishing?

His gospel is short and to the point. The first chapter (45 verses) tells of John the Baptist\u2019s ministry, the baptism of Jesus, the temptation of Jesus, the beginning of Jesus\u2019 ministry, the calling of the disciples, Jesus teaching in the synagogue, removing demons, cleansing lepers, and even Jesus\u2019 first preaching tour. So much for beating around the bush!<\/p>\n<p>The gospel text for today tells of how Jesus called his first disciples &#8212; Simon and Andrew; James and John. Two sets of brothers. All were fishermen. This is significant for many reasons, not the least of which was the social standing of fishermen. People who caught fish served an important purpose in society, as they provided one of the major food resources for the community. However, fishermen had very little connection with most people, other than their fellow fishers. They kept to themselves. They were dirty and smelly. Many fishermen had no home &#8212; they just lived in their boats. They were rough-and-tumble, salt-of-the-earth kinds of people, certainly not the kinds of people that would be thought of as religious leaders!<\/p>\n<p>Yet these were exactly the kinds of people that Jesus wanted to have around.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Jesus called these two sets of brothers to help him show the world that God is a God for everyone; not just the educated, wealthy, religious folk. He turned the word \u201cfishermen\u201d around into \u201cfishers of men\u201d (which we know includes <strong>ALL people<\/strong>, not just men). Imagine the confusion that Simon, Andrew, James, and John were experiencing. Not only were they leaving behind the familiar life of fishermen, but they were now going to have to fish for people. This is just the beginning though. Jesus would lead these men on a three-year journey where everything was turned upside-down. Swords would be turned into ploughshares, rough places made plain, lowly are exalted, sick made healthy, and dead were raised to new life.<\/p>\n<p>Though these young men were the same people, they had a new identity. There were no longer fishers of fish, they were fishers of people. In the same way, Jesus changes our identity from \u201clost, broken, sinner\u201d to \u201cchild of God.\u201d It\u2019s amazing how one little name change can make a huge difference in our lives and view of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#660000\"><strong>Discussion Questions<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">What would you say if a strange man showed up at your school and said, \u201cfollow me, and I will teach you to fish for people?\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Why do you think Jesus chose fishermen to be his first disciples? Why not highly educated, publicly recognized religious leaders?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">How does changing the identity of the chosen disciples (from fishermen to fishers of people) change the way they viewed themselves?<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Whether they\u2019re called \u201cfish\u201d or \u201csea kittens,\u201d the animal is the same. Whether these men were called \u201cfishermen\u201d or \u201cfishers of people,\u201d they were still the same men. All that changed was other people\u2019s perceptions of them. What kinds of labels do you put on other people? How do those labels impact the way you treat them, respect them, or trust them? How would you treat people if you gave them all the same label, \u201cchild of God?\u201d<\/span><\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#660000\"><strong>Activity Suggestion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Fishing for people is not about sticking a hook in their mouth and dragging them into your boat (the church). It\u2019s also not about sitting in the \u201cboat\u201d and hoping fish will just magically jump into it. Being a fisher of people means two things: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">engaging<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">inviting<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><span style=\"font-family:Arial\">Ask everyone to think of one or two people they would like to go fishing for this week. Give each person some construction paper, marker, and a pair of scissors. Have everyone cut out a fish and write the name(s) of the people they want to go fishing for during the upcoming week. Talk about ways to engage these people in conversation about Jesus. Share ideas for how and when to invite them to your church. Encourage everyone to keep their little fish cut-out in their planner to remind them to go fishing for people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial;font-size:130%;color:#660000\"><strong>Closing Prayer<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p align=\"left\"><span style=\"font-family:Arial\"><em>God, you have given us a new identity as your children.
