Tourists are flocking to Kiryat Yam, Israel, in hopes of spotting a mermaid who has reportedly been seen frolicking during sunset swims, and the Town Council is offering a $1 million reward for anyone who can provide a photograph that proves Ariel's kin are kicking back on local beaches.
If it's a photo of a mermaid they want, we'd be happy to oblige. We're offering to run our stunning "Make a Splash—Go Vegetarian" ad, which makes the case that, like mermaids, fish sea kittens, lobsters, crabs, and other animals of the sea deserve to be treated with compassion and respect.

If you would shun a plate of poached mermaid, why not let Nemo and his buddies off the hook too?

Maybe the mermaid is one of the PETA members in Israel doing publicity for sea life (wouldn't that be cool?)!

How about some banners with Mermen?

Hebrew is reversed in the banner
בואו ננסה
להזדהות עם מי
שנמצא על צלחתנו

@ hebrew is reversed: Thanks for pointing that out. We've updated the billboard.
