Animals are property at best and pests and disease risks at worst. That is up to the individual who has a pet or an animal in their life to decide. To many, MANY people, they have great value in more ways than can be counted...and not all monetary.
My argument is the only rational answer.
Darlin', if they ain't a liberal statement, I don't know what is! :)

Animals can only be considered property. That is the only valid thought to have.
You may not recall the big animal rights protests of the late 80's and early 90's, but they logically made the same argument all of you are making. But they rightfully made it against any killing of animals.
You see, their perspective is perfectly consistent. When you buy it in part, you buy it in whole because our juries can see the logical progression.
The "animals have rights" line of thought will force vegetarianism upon us all.
Which is precisely what PETA wants.
