A California woman is asking the city of Irvine, Calif., to erect a memorial at the street corner where 1,600 pounds of live fish died this month when a container truck was involved in a crash, according to The Los Angeles Times.

Dina Kourda, a volunteer with PETA, wrote to the Irvine Public Works Department to request that a sign be placed at the intersection to honor the saltwater bass lost in the accident.

According to the report, Ashley Byrne, a spokeswoman for PETA, said the organization had called for memorials for cows and pigs before, but this was the first time the group has called for a fish remembrance.
