I see my dog as my best friend not as an item that I possess and I protect him (as he does I) and he gives immeasurable joy.

What does it even mean? Let's throw out the food chain and evolutionary principles? Next time i come across a bear in the woods, should i shout out before he rips me apart "Hey bro we're equals!!!"
Anyways i generally don't agree with the extreme side of things and PETA would be another example of extremists. There are PROS and CONS to everything...
