I understand why PETA objects to people wearing animal furs. (Kind of
ironic given ancient human istory.) These days no one needs to be
strutting around in a mink coat. Or testing makeup on animals. Rabbits
don't wear eye shadow or mascara. I get that.

But when they start acting like a bunch of lunatics, trying to keep
people from having a pet dog or a cat... sorry, they're nuts.

This harks back to ancient history. Dogs and cats have been
*domesticated* since the earliest known civilizations. Well treated.
Helpful. Valuable, even.

PETA's so-called shelters are known for euthanizing. Their official web
site shows some horrific images. Worst cases, of course. They don't
seem to keep and try to rehome the adoptable ones.

PETA is purely a "cause" organization, apparently powered by some rather
mixed up vegans. "Don't wear leather!" But it's okay for them to kill
someone's dog.
