Squids are Friends, Not Food by Ari Moore

With all the histrionic AP News articles recently about jumbo squid attacking the West Coast, it’s important to remember this message from The Squid-Human Reconciliation Society*:

Squids are Friends, Not Food

A full 8.5×11 flyer can be found at the artist’s Web site, shirari.com.

For more balanced coverage of the San Diego cephalopod situation, check out this article in ScienceDaily:

Don’t Taste Me, Bro

*not to be confused with the allied, but less activist Squid-Human Quest for Understanding, Integrating and Reconciling Together Society (S.H.Q.U.I.R.T.S.)

Hi! I’ve been enjoying and admiring the Cephalopodcast for some time, and I figured it was time to pipe up. I’m a grad student working on Humboldt squid. I just happen to be on site in San Diego this summer, and I’ve been very entertained (and a little frustrated) watching the media balloon. I vented a bit in my most recent blog post on Humboldt Squid, Jumbo Hype–although I was also touched to find that many people tried to save stranded squid by throwing them back in the water! Perhaps the Squid-Human Reconciliation Society has an active chapter in La Jolla? Anyway, thanks for being an inspiration to me. =)

Danna – Thanks. And I thought Cephalopodcast was a clever name for a Web site. Definitely adding your Cephalopodiatrist.com to my feed reader.
