Are you really afraid that PETA will succeed in taking away your pets? They don't have the power, the public will never let it happen, and from what I understand it's never been part of their agenda.

I get your point with all this, but I think you're blowing things way out proportion and worrying about nothing.

If PETA and their allies get their way, you can keep the cat but you'll have to consult the cat's attorney before you do any microchipping or vet visits.
By the way, you can stick that flea bath in your ear, you...you...human. :p

I'm perfectly willing to follow that, when one of my dogs reminds me of it personally.

Not true, Bruce. Actually they ENCOURAGE you to get cats and dogs microchipped, and they also encourage vet visits, shots, etc.

Of course Garnet doesn't give them much credence, but The Center for Consumer Freedom presented testimony to congress about PETA's (and other organizations') funding ties to ALF and ELF.

So what? These guys are lobbyists, and they present a lot of things to Congress. Does the fact that it was presented to Congress make it true?

BTW, PETA just got word that the IRS has completed their 20-month audit of our finances. This audit basically started because of the CCF's politically-motivated claims, which began a couple years ago. The IRS left no stone unturned in a nearly two-year-long investigation, and PETA has just received a "clean bill or health." Our tax-exempt status will remain intact, once again proving that the CCF is lying.

Again, if PETA is a "terrorist" organization, why do we still have our tax-exempt status? Wouldn't the IRS and FBI have figured it out by now?

Are you saying PETA is NOTin the forefront of the political movement to legally redefine “pets” as “companion animals,” and their “owners” as merely “guardians?
BTW, as "guardian" you'll be paying your cat's lawyer too.

I thought the funding came from Ingrid Newkirk and couldn't be proven to be PETA funds?

Collectively, ALF and ELF have committed more than one thousand criminal acts amounting to more than $110 million in damage from arson, vandalism, and other violent tactics. The FBI has called them "our highest domestic terrorism investigative priority." From Wolfs link.

Looks like we can end the war on terror right now...
