Why'd you change the article title from "Polluting pets: the devastating impact of man's best friend?"

This isn't anything like PETA vs. Greenies. It's a total snore.

Yeah, but didn’t Peta come out that they don’t think we should have pets or something similarly asinine?

where did I see that...oh yes, I googled peta on pets.

>>>>We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes, but we believe that it would have been in the animals’ best interests if the institution of “pet keeping”—i.e., breeding animals to be kept and regarded as “pets”—never existed. The international pastime of domesticating animals has created an overpopulation crisis; as a result, millions of unwanted animals are destroyed every year as “surplus.” This selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering, which results from manipulating their breeding, selling or giving them away casually, and depriving them of the opportunity to engage in their natural behavior. Their lives are restricted to human homes where they must obey commands and can only eat, drink, and even urinate when humans allow them to.<<<<<

He's never lived with cats, that's for sure.

As the senior staff member supporting THE Brat, you’ve got that right! (She’s our new kitten, and I’m still in training, but you know how that goes...)

That said, the two dogs and our other cat perform useful work.

So, if we’ve got to do something about gorbull warming, how about the elimination of four liberals or progressives?

I wouldn’t eat them, but I’m sure our mutts would, and it’d be the only meaningful function of their lives.

Why is PETA killing animals?

By Wesley J. Smith

For those who missed it, here’s the story: Adria J. Hinkle, 27, and Andrew B. Cook, 24, were arrested in Ahoskie, North Carolina, after a four-week law-enforcement investigation into the illegal dumping of about 100 dead dogs into area trash receptacles. The illegal dumping began around the time PETA arranged with local animal shelters to transport stray animals that would otherwise be killed in area pounds to their Norfolk, Virginia, headquarters, purportedly to find homes for the animals — or, for the ill and unadoptable, to submit them to euthanasia.
Instead, according to local media reports, Hinkle and Cook allegedly were in possession of a “death kit” when arrested, consisting of “syringes and two drugs that only licensed veterinarians can have.” Neither PETA employee is a veterinarian. The two would allegedly collect the animals from shelters, and rather than transport them to PETA headquarters, kill them immediately, and dump the bodies.
