Thank you for letting Gary Francione exceed his air time a bit, this time. I so much agree with his speech regarding vegan dogs and cats, and people’s right to domesticate dogs, cats and other animals as pets. I guess it was more or less this argument – as much as I love fish (not to eat them though) and aquatic plants, that got me to decide to get rid of my aquarium 21 years ago.
