I don’t use the word “pet.” I think it’s speciesist language. I prefer “companion animal.” For one thing, we would NO LONGER ALLOW BREEDING.. People could not create different breeds. There would be no pet shops. If people had companion animals in their homes, those animals would have to be refugees from the animal shelters and the streets. You would have a protective relationship with them just as you would with an orphaned child. But as the surplus of cats and dogs (artificially engineered by centuries of forced breeding) declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out, and we would return to a more symbiotic relationship – enjoyment at a distance — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s President, quoted in The Harper’s Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223. “
I coudl not belive this when I read it. This woman is nuts and so is PETA

she also thinks killing chickens for food is the same as what the Jews went thur;
“Six million Jews died in concentration camps, but six billion broiler chickens will die this year in slaughter houses. — Ingrid Newkirk, PETA’s President, The Washington Post, November 13, 1983. “

My dog was lost in the woods for 12 days..he is a hunting breed, and should be able to care for himself...When i finally found him, he mad a flying leap! into the car..he was skin and bones..and soo happy to stay home ever after.
Thanks for the headsup! I know they plan on bombing fast food places..one of them is taped saying so in an interview.... They don't care how many people are harmed, or lives are ruined..
they are not that much different than the 9-11 terrorists...just on a smaller scale...BUT..What if they had the funds? I shudder to think!

I was about to flame your butt, then I realized that you were quoting someone else and are not a big nutbag yourself. Those PETA people are a piece of work aren't they? More concerned about chickens than people. I heard about them comparing pet ownership to slaves in America, but i didn't hear about the crap they said about the Jews. Their priorities are completely screwed up.

PETA is up to nothing but being a pain in the *** towards every normal person in the world.

I think the heads of PETA are currently having sex with pumpkins.
