I think a number of animal lovers are pet owners who support PETA.

Actually here in California they are not called pets and owners anymore.
Pets are companions and owners are guardians. Some cities are re-writing
their legal codes to use the new approved terminology. "Pet" is becoming
politically incorrect.
