PETA
Since the underlying stated purpose of its leaders is to end the
existence of pets and they've cleverly couched it in the guise of animal
welfare, they believe that ANY publicity is good for their cause. And I
have to say, they may be right.
Someone called me last week from E. Texas about not being able to keep
her dogs. One she got from a big flea market and the other came from a
friend of a friend. During the course of the conversation where I
basically told her that I could not just drive up from Houston and take
her dogs off her hands, she commented on the pet overpopulation problem
and all these terrible breeders who are just after people's money. I
very carefully explained to her that while the breeders of her dogs
might not have been the most scrupulous, they could hardly be blamed for
selling her a dog.
She clearly didn't understand my point, and actually asked me to
explain. I pointed out that the breeders of her dogs hadn't taken them
as puppies to an animal shelter but had put them into homes. If the
people in those homes couldn't or wouldn't care for the dogs, that
wasn't entirely their fault. In short, I explained, the problem isn't
so much with overpopulation as it is with irresponsible owners. In
other words, I went on, you are the problem.
She wasn't really upset so much as confused because she really hadn't
thought that way. Well, why think of yourself in a poor light? So PETA
is so successful in their attack on breeders that even the people who
are the problem blame the breeder. WOW!
