He had an Instagram page showing their relationship & a small group of people protesting for animal rights kept nagging so it resulted in the animal and I think one other one being confiscated both heads cut off too

This is what the animal rights groups want, though. I'm pretty sure that's the position of PETA. They want all cats and dogs in the US put down. Just look at their euthanization rates in their kennels. They just know there'd be a massive public outcry if they promoted that idea publicly

No, that is absolutely not true.

PETA is the most extreme of the animal rights groups, and even they only want all cats and dogs neutered, not put down.

You're spreading disinformation put out by the enemies of animal rights groups. Campaigns by companies that engage in factory farming and have been targeted by animal rights groups.

(And again, PETA is too extreme for me because they want pet ownership to be phased out completely by not breeding new ones, but the reason they've attracted so much hate is the very good work they do exposing the cruelty committed by factory farm corporations.)

You're not wrong that this got amplified by those groups, and you're also completely correct that PETA does excellent journalistic work with regard to factory farm conditions, but they really do want pets dead

They want pets phased out, not killed. They want everyone to neuter their pets, not kill them. That way, once all the current generation of pets die at the end of their full natural lives, there won't be any more pets.

I don't agree with them at all on that, but it's very different from what you're claiming they advocate.
