Holli, Do you share your life with any animals? If so, do you support reputable breeders like many of us on this list? If you answered yes to either question then you are direct opposition to the goals of the organization whose card you so proudly carry.
The following quotes are from Ingrid Newkirk, founder and president of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PeTA). For one thing, we would no longer allow breeding� as the surplus of cats and dogs declined, eventually companion animals would be phased out�We would no longer allow�pet shops� (Harper�s Magazine, Aug 1988) �The bottom line is that people don�t have the right to manipulate or to breed dogs and cats�if people want toys, they should buy inanimate objects� (Animals, May/June 1993) "Pet ownership is an absolutely abysmal situation brought about by human manipulation." (Washingtonian Magazine, Aug. 1986) �One day, we would like an end to pet shops and the breeding of animals. [Dogs] would pursue their natural lives in the wild�they would have full lives, not wasting at home for someone to come home in the evening and pet them and then sit there and watch TV.� (Chicago Daily Herald, March 1, 1990) ========================================================= "Magic Commands": to stop receiving mail for awhile, click here and send the email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20NOMAIL to start it up gain click here: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?body=SET%20CKCS-L%20MAIL E-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED] for assistance.
