PETA Wants To Eliminate The Word 'Pet'

Not sure if you've ever had the chance to sit down and ask your dog or cat how they feel about being called certain names, but it seems that PETA believes that we should stop using the word "pet" from now on.

Jennifer White, of PETA, says the term "pet" is derogatory toward animals and that people should opt for phrases like "companion" instead.

White says "A lot of people at home who have dogs or cats will call them pets and refer to themselves as owners and this implies that the animals are a possession."
