Cool lets stop calling them pets, from now they shall be known as food.

[nathanwhite]

...harks back to a time when animals were considered just property.
good grief.
considering that you buy the IMO entitles you to call them your property.

Next there will be a study showing that they are capable of higher mental functions.

[Spearfish]

In my opinion, the author of this idea should meet with an execution squad.

Clearly they are traitors against their own country in trying to destroy it :yes:

[george formby]

Bunch of weasel fondling, armpit sniffing fantasists. Off with their heads!:yes:


FFS, my dog does not give a flying f&%k what I call her as long as she gets fed.

No doubt this ridiculous notion was drummed up at a communal knitting clinic with tea & digestive biscuits funded by us, the national tax paying cash cow for the time rich, reality poor, soap dodging, whingers front.:angry:

They should all be gathered up, stuck in a cage & forced to beat each other to death with a variety of fresh vegetables & salad's. Last loony standing gets a new woolly hat.

[steve_t]

Ahahaha... too much time on their hands

[onearmedbandit]

I blame the internet. Before then no newspaper would've dedicated any space to a story like this.

you mean steak,mince and chop?I wonder if they will make the top ten list for pet names ...OOPS I mean animal companion names

[Big Dave]

Don't pet the sweaty stuff.

[blue rider]

Close. Dogs have owners, cats have staff. :yes:

[ellipsis]

....dogs without their 'companions' are swiftly despatched in this area and I have not seen a feline companion within hundreds of meters of our place for years...lots of lovely birdy type companions though...'ceptin them thar magpie thingys...:innocent:

You should be carefull you will have the S.P.C.V for suggesting using veggy's as a wepon

[HenryDorsetCase]

Our ginger overlord considers this to be a waste of his time. Presently he has directed silence due to his necessity for a post lunch snack. Later, there will be play with a bit of string or perhaps one of his little toys, then dinner, some hunting, and more sleeping.

He may consider this in a month or two, but he has a lot more serious shit to deal with first.

Bring it on:yes: I will de-lentilise them, damn anti-evolutionists deserve 50 lashes with a stick of limp celery, across the bare bum & in public too:yes:.

[mashman]

they'll be getting the right to claim dole and vote next

The new Journal of Animal Ethics...


There you have it. A "journal" published it.

Stupid bloody "academics" attempting to get published and earn more $$$'s of research funding (supplied by whom?:facepalm:).

[bogan]

a companion is all you need

<IMG src="http://www.thebuzzmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/02/companion-cube.jpg" />

well, that and cake :innocent:

Seriously though, this shit is almost a PC recursion, it's only PC for the sake of it, cos the animals don't care.

[schrodingers cat]

Golly, its a slow day in the news room.
My ethics are all screwed up after the royal wedding frenzy and hyping the Breakers win as a WORLD FIRST. I wish the senios journos would get back from lunch
What to fill the day with?
Hmmm - let me fossick in the bottom of this rubbish bin

OMG (etc)! How could they overlook the important news?!
HOLD THE PRESS
PUBLISH AND BE DAMNED

Fucking media.

[FJRider]

Close. Dogs have owners, cats have staff. :yes:

Then I must discuss with my cat ... unpaid wages .... :innocent:

[Urano]

LOL. Sounds like they want it to become illegal to sell animals as well.

ya, but often the wrong ones. cities are full of animals which best use would be for food instead of messing around with no clue.
and no one i know has 4 legs...


as i said, my cat ownes me.....;)

probably because i'm not fully confident with the language, but if you continue to say so it'll became a little disturbing... :innocent::shutup:
