not buying pets as Christmas gifts
not leaving dogs locked in cars
supporting shelters and rescues
not chaining your dog.
Guess what? The same things we all advocate. |
I agree on the above....but missing on that list buying pets from breeders. That fact is found in the link I posted. Peta thinks EVERY animal should be sterilized...all of them. The reasoning given...even if a breeder finds homes for all their litter they can not control what happens to those animals who are allowed to breed afterward nor what happens to subsequent litters. They want you to adopt an animal in a shelter....
Personally I think Peta has made us all more vasily aware of animal abuses. I applaud that. I do not always agree with their methods or their stance on everything. Peta has a very good
PR machine....
My view is colored because they are here in my backyard. There is alot of stuff they do...that never makes the national media.
