They don't see it as hypocrisy at all. Animal-rights groups regard pet ownership as a kind of enslavement. (Excuse me..."pet" is a pejorative term. I meant "companion animal.") They anticipate the day when no species is in anyway the property of any other. Hence, such tactics as "liberating" mink farms and stealing people's cats. But here their collectivist notion of "rights" become clear: the "liberated" mink are just so many (or too many) predators unleashed on the local environment at once; those which aren't recaptured either kill local wildlife or starve or are hit by cars...PETA and those of their ilk care no more for what happens to the individual animal than they do for what happens to you or me, or our rights, or our property. As for the cats, PETA people will tell you it's unnatural for us to have them anyway, so it's best to do away with them. Search out their ideas about any domesticated breed--as they are "man-made" and unfit (or at least ill-sutied) to survive in the wild, they must go. This is their stance.

Yep. They believe in a sort of "tooth and claw" socialism of the jungle. Get rid of all the arbitrary distinctions man has imposed upon nature and both man and beasts will live happily ever after in the Garden Of Eden. Its Marxist equality taken to its naturalistic extreme.
