honeychile: That way of thinking may be antithetical to their message, since they advocate humane treatment of animals. If no one owned animals, then there would be a whole lot of stray dogs and cats that would be euthanized. Now, I am not in PETA, so I don't know, but logically, I don't think that would make sense.
Sidenote: I think where people are getting that from is due to the fact that PETA is lobbying to have Michael Vick banned from ever owning pets...
