PETA in Britain
 

Apparently the PETA peeps in Britain are just as demanding and just nuts as there are here. :rolleyes:

They don't want you to be an owner either: they want you to be a guardian.

I saw an article here the other day that contains a Good Morning Britain video about it.

PETA President Calls 'Pet' a Disrespectful Term, Ask Owners to Use 'Animal Companion' Instead


.

"...his goose is cooked..."
"...a dead duck..."
"...screwed the pooch..."
A fast car is said to "run like a scalded cat"...



What should we replace those with, I wonder.

"...his goose is cooked..."

= His avian companion is suffering from extreme heat exhaustion.


"...a dead duck..."

= It has brought down the curtain and joined the duvet invisible.


"...screwed the pooch..."

Not a familiar phrase this side of the Atlantic and probably best left alone. :)

Don't know nuttin' 'bout this, but I have several friends of serious animal care persuasion who actively hate everything about PETA.
They kind of get on my nerves, but I think maybe they are right.

People Eating Tasty Animals.

I've found the people I've met who are into dog agility training think PETA is a stupid joke. The ones in vet care a little more concerned with pets being killed with kindness.
