Fish that can walk on land for several days:

The predatory fish, which can slither across land for several days in search of food, was described as "something from a bad horror movie" by Interior Secretary Gale Norton when she announced the government's plans to ban imports and trade of snakeheads.

As Dan Akroyd said in Ghostbusters, "they're ugly goobers." Fish that can walk on land?? Don't we stop calling them "fish" when they can do that? Frankly, this is disturbing, and the FBI should get around to arresting them for violating Natural Law.

The snakeheads appear to have no friends.

Even the animal rights group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) said it favors killing the snakeheads, though it prefers a more humane method instead of the state's broad poison plan.

The freshwater fish, which can grow up to three feet long (one meter), has an ugly wide mouth and heavy scales, making it look like a snake's head and allowing it swallow prey as large as it is.

You have to be a truly loathsome critter, if even PETA won't protest your eradication. And what about PETA? Oh, sure, they talk a good game when it comes to some big-eyed, cute, fur-bearing mammal, but let it be a loathsome, unnatural, land-walking "fish" and all of those animal-loving, paint-throwing, sign-waiving, wife-swapping, commie-loving radicals go AWOL.
