U.S. Pet Ownership Statistics
There are the millions of dogs and cats (and more) whose owners' rights are being washed away by the flood of
laws and ordinances backed by Animal Rights organizations. CaRPOC's goals include damming this flood by exposing
the AR organizations for what they are groups who want no animal ownership, a world where vegan philosophy is the
philosophy of the world, run and run FAST. Look at the statistics and decide under which philosophy we want our
world to live. Then join us and work with us to stop the flood of HSUS, PETA and other animal rights organizations!
