Peta wants the name of "Fiskargatan" (fishing street) on Södermalm to be changed to "Fiskarnas Vänners Gata" (friends of the fish street). If the mayor accepts, the nonprofit promises to send a vegan fish alternative to every person who lives on the Stockholm street in question. So far the Stockholm mayor has yet to take Peta up on their offer. By taking a public stand against this cruelty and proclaiming themselves friends of fish, Stockholm residents could feel proud of the compassionate stance their city is adopting." If fishing street touched a nerve, Peta probably wouldn’t be thrilled to learn that there are also 18 examples of "Jägaregatan" (hunters street) across Sweden.
