A trio of PETA mermaids came ashore at San Francisco's Fisherman's Wharf to remind everyone that "seafood" comes from animals who feel pain and suffer when they're netted or impaled and pulled into an environment in which they can't breathe. After all, who would know better than these hybrid lovelies that fish, lobsters, and other sea-dwellers feel pain and want to live—just as the rest of us do.
