Writer's Block: Pet central

Wait. Wait one cotton-picking minute. These animal rights activists are spending their time, energy and money to combat a word that conveys the responsibility in keeping a pet?

Wouldn't animal rights be better served in fighting abuse, overpopulation, and educating people on how to be responsible pet owners...er...guardians...er...parents....umm....

Are these the same folks who object to pets being called "pets", and want them to be called "companion animals" or some such?

Yep. And the same people who want to prevent sheep shearing because it's cruel to remove many pounds of wool that traps body heat in the summer because it's a haircut (like they pay big bucks for on themselves) because the sheep isn't booking a voluntary appointment with the stylist (and presumably paying for it).
