For pets, no going back to Eden
Has Robin Grant heard the old saying that if you tell a lie often enough it becomes a “fact”?
I took Eric Bahrt’s advice and visited PETA’s website and saw their entire philosophy on dogs and cats. They believe that, in a perfect world, dogs and cats would never have been domesticated and would have been better off in the wild.
But here’s the catch (are you listening, Mr Grant?). PETA states that, since this is not a perfect world and dogs and cats have been domesticated, they wouldn’t be able to survive in the wild. Therefore PETA urges people to adopt dogs and cats as opposed to breeding them.
If Mr Grant disagrees with that position, that’s his right. But I don't think it’s very nice of him to continue to attack PETA for positions that he knows they never took.
