As I said, I don't agree with everything PETA says or does. I have 3 cats. I have always had cats. I don't think some people should have pets, because they don't really care for them. They abuse them or they neglect them.

Case in point, that woman who had the chimp that had to be put down, the way she treated that animal, that was abuse. Animals are animals, they still have wildness in them. Chimps are not meant to drink wine and eat steak and lobster and basically be treated like a companion.
