The following statement I copied straight from the Voice for Animals website:
"Animals are not commodities to be bought and sold. Stores who participate in this, and breeders who supply them will one day, in an enlightened future, be seen for who they are... slave traders."
A couple of points I would like to make about this statement besides the obvious that someone went off their meds. First, anyone who buys and sells pets are slave traders?? This would have to mean that our family pets would have that same rights as ourselves. I lock my dog up every night for his own protection, am I kidnapping him!! Secondly, sometime in the future we are going to be "enlightened" OH WOW-good thing to know. The only other time I saw this word used was in the TV show-Stargate SG1. They had some dudes in the show that were telling people to get ready for the age of enlightenment. I think Voice for Animals is ready for it now.

Voice for Animals are a bunch of nut jobs who shouldn't be taken seriously. But don't anyone ever give them any money!!
"The only other time I saw this word ['enlightened'] used was in the TV show-Stargate SG1."
Heh, why am I not surprised, albertaboy.
And you can laugh all you want, but you do realize that your same sentiments have been made by slave traders 200 years ago, Nazis 70 years ago, etc. "They're just animals", right? Mhm.
Also, if you don't understand what is wrong with pet stores and breeders then, once AGAIN, you do not fully understand these issues. Do you realize that there are millions of cats and dogs living in the streets, in shelters and being euthanized every year? Why do you think this is, albertaboy? Because despite the fact that there are SO many pets out there that need good homes, people continue to breed and sell new ones, perpetuating the cycle of animal suffering. You can rant all you want, but next time you want a new pet - and claim to care at all about animal welfare and the bigger picture - try to actually do something productive for once and go to your local shelter.
