PETA Calls for Boycott of A Dog's Purpose Movie

Well, so was Reagan and his surgeon general, by refusing to even mention it. Yet the republican party keeps mentioning him as a saint

There's plenty villainy to go around

lets stick to PETA here
 
You have refined your argument from the initial attempt to argue that they were doing these animals a favor by killing them, a stance held by PETA. You haven't demonstrated that it is ethical to euthanize these animals either. The closest you came to a moral argument is that their population might have caused some other animal species to go extinct. But since extinction is not necessarily an immoral thing you haven't really demonstrated that euthanizing pets instead of finding them homes is really ethical.

Nope, you seem to have simply misunderstood it in the first place.
 
Incorrect. The reality is that PETA believes that pets shouldn't exist, and that pet ownership and domestication is wrong and only marginally support the practice of pet adoption because, as best I can tell, they realize that publicizing their opposition to pets in general hurts their bottom line. Given the options of sending pets to a loving home or putting them to death they see death as a mercy because PETA is run by insane a-holes.

<sigh> It's not even worth it. You didn't even read the 2nd link correctly.

I wouldn't pretend I know anything about replacing an engine in a car, but some of you have embarrassed yourselves by pretending to know anything about PETA and the HSUS. You don't, as evidenced by your interpretation of the 2nd link which was completely wrong. I encourage you to keep your level of ignorance intact. I think it makes you happier.
 
Shelters are important but they're not the only facet to animal welfare. It's good that it's a lobbying group. It's not like animals can speak for themselves or hire lawyers to represent their interests.

Then a lobbying organization that doesn't act as a parasite off of hard working animal shelters by using misrepresenting themselves and what they do.
