news:Ltywb.14394$Gj2.8698@okepread01... Well, I think the term pet needs to be re-defined now considering there are people out there like myself who don't see their cats as pets but as members of the family. The more enlightened among us call them "companion animals". I just call them my babies (my dogs, that is - sorry this was cross-posted). Carleen ;-) |

I think the public needs to be educated about cat deaths linked to anti-freeze as well. BTW, does anyone know of anti-freeze that is safe for cats. I already try to buy other products that are not tested on animals so having products that have been killers to cats would be nice. I don't believe there are any brands that are totally safe, but there is a brand Sierra which produce a much less toxic kind. I also believe it's Pennzoil that make a less-toxic kind. A quick Google search should come up with others. |

In news:mExwb.14380$Gj2.4579@okepread01, Cat Protector composed with style: An animal needing a good and loving home should also be their focus as well. I believe PETAs stance is that animals shouldn't be pets. Period. Doubt they would do an adoptathon. I think it was Ingrid Newkirk, President, who made a remark like that a long time ago. I think her intent was to eliminate the property-like status of animals and make them "free" entities. I doubt they would ever actually advocate that stance, as a vast majority of their members have pets. What drives me crazy is their advocating vegan diets for cats and dogs. I have a love-hate relationship with PETA, because they've done some awesome things but sometimes the things they campaign for are so asinine in the big pictures of animal welfare and rights that it astounds me. |
