Can you provide sources for these claims?

> animals as pets

This seems to say they are perfectly fine with pets: https://www.peta.org/about-peta/why-peta/pets/

> guide dogs

Seems to imply they are not against service animals in general: https://www.peta.org/media/news-releases/monkeys-arent-pets-...

Not trying to defend anyone, just looking for objective evidence.

Fair.

## guide dogs

> [PETA founder Ingrid Newkirk] regards the use of Seeing Eye dogs as an abdication of human responsibility and, … is wholly opposed to their use. She has had at least one dog taken from its owner.

I could go on, but I think you get the picture. The utter insanity of PETA is actually very well documented, so if you have an evening, grab a bottle of wine and go down that ~rabbit~ hole.


PeTA murders pet animals that are given to their "shelters", because they don't want people to have pets. They are not "perfectly fine" with pets at all.
