PETA has approximately two million members.

PETA's ludicrous "sea kitten" campaign has attracted ... wait for it ... 6250 signatures.

That's a fraction over 0.3% of their own membership.

EPIC FAIL.

(Note:  This screencap is actually from seakittens.org, which PETA doesn't actually own.  Someone else registered it first, put the PETA "sea-kitten" site in a frame, and proceeded to have fun with it.  The Omaha Steaks banner ad, for instance.)

Who else suspects a cease and desist from PETA? In this instance it really does fit the cybersquatting definition so they won't have a leg to stand on. They were making a profit off of the popularity(or lack thereof) of the PETA campaign to sell steaks.
