    No no no look not regular vegans. PETA vegans.

    You know, the ones that think cats and dogs would be better off dead than as pets. If you’re feeling too upbeat go ahead and Bing it.

      When have they ever said that? Any time I see an actual quote from the organization it’s something like

      We encourage people who have the time, money, patience, commitment, and love needed to care for an animal for life to adopt one from a shelter—or, better yet, to adopt two compatible animals so that they can provide each other with companionship. With so many cats and dogs in need of homes, there is no excuse for buying animals from pet shops or breeders, which exacerbate the overpopulation and homelessness crisis.

        Quotes from Ingrid Newkirk. The PETA “shelters” have frequently been found to euthanasia oriented with little effort put into re-homing.

        “Pet ownership is slavery. Animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or be entertained by.”

        https://quotefancy.com/ingrid-newkirk-quotes#:~:text=“Pet ownership is an absolutely,brought about by human manipulation.”&text=17.

        What PETA has said, and what they have done, are often not the same.

        People who support the ethical treatment of animals and veganism often don’t know and even more often don’t want to know about the skeletons in the closet, and would usually be unsupportive of such acts.

        Extremism happens.

          Citation sorely needed. I can find an awful lot of wacky stuff that Newkirk has said on record (most of which is easily taken out of content to make it seem like she said it unprompted, as opposed to being part of a larger story or a response to a particular question), but the only sources I can find for that quote are quote aggregator websites that don’t cite their sources.

      Seriously! I wish we lived the way they do in other countries where there are dozens of stray/wild dogs and cats living on the streets

      This is what happens when you’re so open minded your brain falls out

          They are pointing out that it’s a dirty job but someone’s got to do it. If you had a public that treated animals with respect they wouldn’t be needed.
