The problem is, PETA takes funding and charity from animal lovers (who usually own pets) and never quite fully discloses their position on animal rights (ie, absolutely, positively, and unabashadly equal in every sense...pets = slaves).

This is to not even mention how their disruption of Edward Taub's neurological experiments in the early 1980's set neuroscience (and the treatments of OCD and other ailments) back about 20 years. Thanks for the alzeimers PETA!
Can you elaborate on these issues?

I don't know much about PETA other than the provocative images they put on billboards and advertisements (which I've never actually seen outside of mainstream media stories about these things).

The one poster involved in this thread who has actually been a member of the organization doesn't seem to think having a pet is disgusting and sick. It doesn't sound like he'd use the term "pet ownership" to describe the arrangement he was with a dog that he lives with, but still.

And this Alzheimer's stuff, I've never heard of that but I'm certainly willing to learn. Either way, Alzheimers disease can't be blamed on any organization other than the one that designed the human nervous system.
