Good article on PETA and its savvy founder Ingrid Newkirk. (“I am not only uninterested in having children. I am opposed to having children. Having a purebred human baby is like having a purebred dog; it is nothing but vanity, human vanity.”) I can’t figure out PETA’s line on pets; PETA believes that animals are not ours to use “for entertainment” (among other things), which would seem to preclude pet ownership in itself, but their site has numerous factsheets on how one should behave toward “companion animals.”
