WHAT SHOULD WE DO ?

In pet liberation it is important, that we crush the idyllic picture of happy pet keeping and that we question the right of the man to keep companion animals, question the right to rob the freedom and natural surroundings of animals. We believe, that if people begin to think more closely their moral rights concerning pets, they gradually begin to see the moral dilemmas of pet keeping. Our final aim is, that people will give up all pet keeping. Our aim is of course not, that people will put their pets in sleep, but that they refuse to take new pets. But this is not our only goal, there is also subgoals. These could be for example: Prohibition to improving the breed when improving causes suffering to the animal. Prohibition to keep dogs in too small apartments. Prohibitions to leave social animals alone (e.g. dog should be taken to doggarten or dog-daycenter while the caretaker is at work). Possible means are prohibition to sell animals or duty of the pet-seller to take the animal back if the owner gets tired of pet-keeping. Campaigns to rehabilitate birds, turtles, snakes etc. in the wild nature should be started. Animals that have difficulties to cope in nature could be set in special reservations, where they are fed. The tasks are enormous, pet-business big and wealthy opponent.
