Talk:People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (view source)
Revision as of 15:05, June 18, 2008
, 15:05, June 18, 2008the finer points
The main page for this article should be the full name of the organization, not the acronym. I'm proposing the article be moved to [[People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals]]. [[User:Foxtrot|Foxtrot]] 20:03, 11 May 2008 (EDT)

Stop me if I'm overstating the case. PETA may or may not see human beings as [[animals]] - the way most liberals do. In [[Biology]], human beings are classified as part of the [[Animal Kingdom]]; see [[primates]] or [[mammals]].
Also, they don't say they want animals to have '''exactly''' the same [[rights]]; there are no plans for them to vote in elections. They use the word "consideration".
I'm still studying their view on people and (other) animals in relationships that can be seen as mutually beneficial. If I befriend a wild animal, and it starts to like being with me, am I "using" him (in a way PETA would condemn)? If I have a pet now, must I return it to the wild? Or what? --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 11:05, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
