Re: PETA believes having a pet should be illegal because it is slavery.

Can you post a URL to back this up?

I’ve heard their representatives take this position in interviews in past years. You can find old quotes if you google PETA and slavery.

They got burned by public outrage when they had their public demonstrations equating animals in circuses and zoos to the historic slavery of Africans in the US, so they have played down the pet ownership angle in recent years, as they now understand this position is bad PR for them. But you can be sure they still believe this.

Having a pet is slavery. My 11 old poodle mutt has me constantly doing things for him.
