I would posit that the true aim of extremist "pro-animal" organizations such as PETA is the removal of humankind from the earth. After all, it is humans who confine animals as pets, who mess with their breeding (ranging from dog-fancier associations to agricultral-animal husbandry to strains developed as human analogues for medical testing), hunt them, use their skins for warmth, and eat them as food.

(These extremists seem to forget that many feral animals are natural predators and kill other animals, that it is only by human protectionism that some of the hunted species survive, and that it is through active and conscientious hunting and fishing that the health, strength, and overall viability of wild animals are maintained and improved.)

I submit that the public perception is that human males are more psychologically and culturally likely to objectify animals (pets, food, coats) than are human females, and that many human males (and male-dominated human cultures) routinely objectify human females. It seems to me that PETA is using our aesthetic and procreative sensitivities to tell us we are no better than other animals -- and indeed significantly worse than those animals -- and therefore, we should willingly cede our place on earth.
