    I think a human name gives them dignity. I have seen people name their dogs things like B.A. for badass, chevy, blunt, I mean, really awful names. I have names my pets Sabrina, Molly, Madison, and Rocky.

    And I think it's wonderful to let your dog sleep with you and dress them up if that's what the owners want to do. It hurts no one, and the dog is very much loves. I would rather see a dog over loved than abused or neglected. Kudos to all animal lovers!

    I couldnt care less what other people name or feed their dog.
    My peeve is when i walk into someones house and it smells like dog. or there is dog hair every where. its like...do they NOT smell the stinch?! do they LIKE having pet hair all over their clothes, and well....EVERYTHING?!

    I won't even go to my dads house because of this. I cant walk in the front door without being covered in dog hair. and even if im only there 2 seconds i come out smelling like dog. its disgusting!

    I have 3 cats and 3 dogs and I love them more than I love most humans. Unconditional love, both ways.

    Those are both things you get used to. I have two very hairy dogs and I vacuum everyday and still cant leave the house without dog hair all over me.

    My dog's name is Charlie and at Christmas we put her in an old dress that had belonged to my daughter and took pictures. I don't feed her table food though because I don't want her to get sick and I don't really let her sleep on the bed, though I have only recently forbid her from the couch. I don't know. My mom empty nested and got a puppy and calls it my sister. It's a little silly but it makes her happy.

    Yes. That is equally disgusting. Or maybe a tad bit more...either way...EH! I like smelling like laundry soaps or pretty perfumes...not animals who havent been bathed in months. gross.

    Your pet is supposed to be your best friend and should be treated as such. You wouldn't make your best friend sleep outside in the cold, and your pet shouldn't either.

    Dog sweaters are stupid unless you have something like a Chinese crested that needs it because it doesn't have enough fur to keep warm. :)

    I think all of that is fine, I dont have any children of my own and maybe I will never be able to, so my hubby and I have animals, I call my rats babys and I spoil the heck out of them

    that being said I thought this post was going to be about how PETA wants to treat an animals right the same or better the a humans, I think we should treat animals humanly but humans are more important then animals when it comes down to it

    I'm sorry, did you say "rats"?

    yes mam I certainly did, lol,

    I live in a small apartment so I have a bird and three cute little rats, people don't realize but rats are great pets they greet me when I come home, when they see me they climb to the top of the cage and sniff at me, also they love being held, I would say if you cant get a dog get a rat, also bunny are cool, a lot of people don't realize this but bunny's can be potty trained

    My dog and cats are my family! They needed a home, and we've provided one for them! All have given names that could be considered human, with the exception of my cat Jellybean :) My bed is open for them to cuddle at night, and my old yorkie loves her sweater. Poor girl gets cold! I don't see the problem with any of the things you mentioned.

    I disagree with dog sweaters. It makes your dog look heavier.

    HEY. My dog looks damn cute in her sweater >:O
