I remember some years ago reading an article about the woman who began PETA; and, in that article they told the reader straight out that this woman would pick up cats that she saw while walking to work, and she would kill them in her office. (I don't know what she did with the carcass.) This was the beginning of my distrust of "animal rights" organizations.
The people at PETA do not believe any animal should be kept as a pet; and, they do believe death is a better option. Now, my perfectly pampered corgi would disagree entirely. He is very fond of the food we serve at our table; from which he receives scraps.
I knew someone who was the live-in “companion” of a sadistic, controlling b*sturd who was one of the uppermost elites in PETA for an extended period of time. He was keeping some dogs on his property that were from a rescue situation. She saw him grab one of the dogs by the foreleg so forcefully that he broke the dog’s leg. Later when the two of them were visiting the home of a friend of mine, he got annoyed by their little dog and kicked it so hard in the kidneys that it had blood in its urine afterward. The guy happened to be a medical doctor!
These PETA people are a collection of freaks and sociopaths. They don’t “love” animals, they just hate people.
