I would have to agree with AlphaFrog here. I am wary of any type of extremism, and they seem like extremists, after visiting their site. Plus, whenever I think of them, I think of Lacey from Rock of Love and also throwing red paint on people in streets. Yuck.

Has anybody else noticed that PETA is a sponsor of NPC and listed on the NPC website?
That surprised me.

And yes, it is there. Surprising to me, as well... Hmmm.

Look... I'm sorry but there is NO WAY that Samantha would wear FAKE FUR! Oh, the humanity!

Oh I totally agree with that. And her wearing fur and getting red paint thrown on her is part of the script from what I understand so maybe Kim was just getting into the part....

A few years ago I read a news story about them trying to make it so that legally you don't own your pet, you are its guardian.

Technically, parents don't "own" their children, but it doesn't seem to be a deterrent from abusing them if they are that type of person. I don't get the point...

Side note: what was this thread about before we hijacked it with PETA discussion? I don't even remember.

That legally, animals would have an equal standing with humans. PhiGam, I remember that story too.
People don't get the death penalty for killing animals....I think that's part of the point.

Pets are by law considered personal property which is why they can be bought and sold as such. And that's also why you can't get the death penalty for "destroying" your personal property.

Which is the way it should be. Animal cruelty should be a crime... but not on the same level as killing a fellow human.

Agreed, but mostly based on the point that I don't believe in the death penalty--at all.
