"Best Answer: Yes peta wants to end pet ownership."
-PETA pamphlet, Companion Animals: Pets or Prisoners?
"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 vice-president, quoted in The Harper's Forum Book, Jack Hitt, ed., 1989, p.223.

Hope you don’t mind I steal your picture, Thanks for the laugh.......
Spaying and neutering your pets is responsible ownership. What’s not responsible is having barn cats having litters every year and letting the young die of distemper, fight for food, or get killed in the road. -Right now I’ve got a 12 week old kitten I intend to have spayed. I cringe thinking of them cutting her open. If eating a cookie would do that I’d be very happy to feed it to her.
PETA doesn’t care about animals at all.
Go to the vet. They can help you with that. However, spaying and neutering are simple procedures. The animals recover fast and I’ve never had any issue.
Promoting and funding PETA however is no way to solve anything.
When we were managing a small feral colony we learned that there was something we could add to food to accomplish a short-term birth control. It wasn’t a “one and done” procedure. So we did TNR — and then eventually brought the cats indoors.
This new cookies thing would be amazing!
I don’t care about PETA one way or the other. As for taking my kitten to the vet for a spay, I’ve had that done on a lot of cats successfully over the years. Again, I realize the end result is worth the spay, but I f-cking *hate* that they have to cut her open. Course I’d feel the same way if I was going under the knife.
“I hope this is serious...lots of homeless cats and dogs here in East TN.”
So true. It breaks your heart.
But that’s what this thread is about , the “600 Million dogs” project is a fund raiser for PETA.
As for being cut open, I hate it too. It’s always best to remember that animals aren’t humans. They recover so much faster it’s pretty clear that it’s not the same reaction I’ve had to surgery.
Good grief. Don’t obsess about PETA. Just decide if this idea can lessen animal suffering and if it has merit.
I didn’t read it past the saving animals from having unwanted litters. Thought it was odd it upset you.
—I don’t know much about PETA. I do remember though when (it might have been PETA or another group like them) broke into a no-kill animal shelter a few years ago and set it on fire. Their argument was it was bad for animals to live their lives in cages. I can’t argue that living in a cage for years is good, but killing them with fire kind of s-cks too.
Cute pic.
Spread The Word !!!
What if an animal eats multiple cookies? Would that be toxic?
You promote a fundraising project of PETA and we’re just supposed to ignore that?
“Just decide if this idea ...has merit”
“No chance”
Agreed Linda Rhodes, then vice president for clinical development at AlcheraBio LLC, ... “I would say that there is no chance that the government will approve a substance to be given to feral animals using a bait, flavored substance or food, by lay people, given what we know about the science today.
In order to not impact people, especially children, or other wildlife, such a substance would have to be completely species-specific. For example, a drug that could only be effective in cats and no other birds or mammals. Given today’s science, there is no drug or substance that I can think of that has that level of species specificity.”
Rhodes was previously director of clinical development projects for production animals at Merial Ltd., the maker of Raboral. She now chairs the Alliance for Contraception in Dogs & Cats board of directors.
MEXICO!
I wonder if it works on humans too. Don't we have an overpopulation of homeless people suffering in the streets?
