OK, not really PETA, but same idea. From MSNBC:


"More from the mailbag: Anne from Horseshoe, N.C., found the entry on quantum physics for kids interesting, but didn’t care for the interactive presentation that killed (or half-killed) Schrödinger’s Cat: “The interactive link that featured killing a cat for some ridiculous analogy was offensive in the extreme, and not the kind of values that I want my children exposed to. You need to find ethical examples to illustrate concepts,” she wrote."

"swing a dead cat"


as in: "when I flew first class, I had enough room to swing a dead cat."

Reasons A dead cat is a better pet than a live one.


...doesn't eat smelly cat food.


...doesn't need a messy litter box.


...doesn't shed, go into heat, or chase cats that are.


...doesn't wander off so you always know where he is.


...doesn't have to be put out at night. Or let back in at 4:32 AM.


...doesn't climb the draperies or mistake the sofa for a scratching post.


...doesn't wake you up in the morning by sitting on your head and mistaking your nose for a catnip mouse.


...doesn't bite or scratch children who pull his tail and spin him around.


...doesn't have to be rescued from a tree by the Fire Department (unless you put him up there).


...doesn't stare at you like crazy when you want to play with him.


...doesn't come when you call him. But then again, neither does a live cat.
