I am with PETA on this one

Interesting way you put that. This is not just semantics. I've kept a watchful eye on myself in this regard. So easily people see something that they agree with -- yet the underlying group or thing they are in disagreement with. In this case PETA. PETA is not an authority. Leastwise not a valid authority. Valid authorities are marked by honesty, integrity and commitment to honest principles. I can safely assume that puts you wayyyy ahead of PETA.

PETA finally agrees with me on something, is the proper perspective/frame-of-reference. Or just PETA finally got something right. Or I have to admit PETA is right on this one.

Each person needs to live as the highest authority. I mean, who else has rights over you? Certainly not PETA.

I went for the headline grabber. The headline is NOT my personal feeling on the topic, but I knew it would garner the biggest response. That is why I have tried to carefully explain my beliefs twice above.

If you notice PETA was not even mentioned in the photos stories, I made them up with regard to these photos I saw. All I meant by the headline is that I am not for eating dogs. I am quite careful with my language and PETA does not speak for me in any regard. Thanks for giving me the opportunity to clarify further.
