[QUOTE=Akbritt;2472306]WOW....the world would be a sad sad place to live in, if we didnt have our pets..... To me, this goal to kill out domesticated animals would go against any normal person's views on animal rights. Peta thinks it is much easier to get rid of the animals then having to actually do something about the misuse of animals..... This really doesnt have anything to do with spaying and neutering pets, its an ego trip with the animal rights extremist! I think altering is important, however if it wasnt for breeders we would lose our precious Yorkies, and i really dont want to see that!

I just wanted to highlight EXTREMIST in your post. While I agree with the sentiment, I also respect many of the PETA members here who are not extremists. The fringe element of any group will inevitably be used to malign the group's public image by those who disagree.

When the fringe element has the ability to steer the overall course, or to control the agenda...I think it's absolutely fair to highlight the fringe.

A very small rudder turns a very large vessel.
