EL PASO, TX. - Students at a Northeast El Paso Middle School are subjected to the "ugly side" of eating fish and parents are upset. People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) targeted Terrace Hills Wednesday morning for getting their anti-fish eating message out.

The member not only passed the trading cards, but fliers as well, to children who walked by. The location was a concern to some as Terrace Hills is next door to Collins Elementary School, where the cards could have been distributed to children as young as 4 years of age.

PETA is using the trading cards, with cartoon characters such as "ill Bill" and "wicked Wanda", to get the message to kids that eating fish is "hazardous, unhealthy and cruel."

According to the "ill Bill" card students received, Bill became ill because "he ate poop-filled fish since says fish swim in their own poop." On the "wicked Wanda" card, children are told that Wanda is wicked because, "she's so mean because the fish she ate for dinner felt a lot of pain when it was killed."
