    I was watchin the news this mornin n there was a report that peta doesnt want you to call your pets (pets)...they want them considered companions.
    They also want you to feel that you dont own them....ur suppose to just be there caretaker. There was more...however....i had to change the channel...
    Thank God....i wasnt born later.
    What the h€[[ is this world comin to ?

    I found with my dog you could call him pretty much anything as long as he got food or a treat he was your buddy

    Sucks when you have to make the decision to put them down, but at the end of the day they're still an animal

    If they don't like "pets", probably wouldn't like "dumb cats" either...:whistle: :D

    Well, if Holly has an issue with me calling her my pet, all she need do is learn how to use a computer or smartphone to contact PETA for relocation help.
    :whistle:

    As for PETA, I'd rather be a member of PUTA, People for the Unethical Treatment of Activists.
    :thumbs::thumbs:

    Speaking of such things, maybe I should donate gas money to the bikers that keep protesters away from military funerals.

    Our pets ( dogs ) are part of the family and are in charge of the house ; we just are lucky enough to stay in their home. Often called every name in the book and occasionally we call them by their actual name. As long as they are fed , taken out to play and loved they could care less what you call them.

    PETA = LOL ......don't get me started !!

    I need a burger.:grizz:
