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)

:They have companion animals, actually. If you are interested in the topic, I highly recommend Peter Singer's ''Animal Liberation'', which examines the topic at some length and really was the foundation of the "animal rights" movement.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 12:29, 18 June 2008 (EDT)

:I'm going to rewrite this article, actually, Ed. It just needs a redo, since it's scattered and not really cohesive. Also, PETA's aims against fishing and hunting and circuses and so on are very well-known objectives, so I'm not sure they are criticism, as they are listed now. Even though I dislike PETA and disagree with them, I am familiar with the philosophy and a vegetarian myself, so I think I can treat the subject fairly.--[[user:TomMoore|<font color="#000066" >Tom Moore</font>]]<sup>[[User talk:TomMoore|fiat justitia ruat coelum]]</sup> 12:43, 18 June 2008 (EDT)
