Piers Morgan calls out UK PETA for suggesting the word 'pet' is offensive to animals

Animal rights activist organisation PETA is facing flak on social media for suggesting pet owners opt word 'companion' inste of calling ir dogs and cats 'pets' after claiming that term is offensive to animals. Ironically PETA itself has word 'pet' in acronym which UK presenter Piers Morgan rightly pointed out during an interview with a PETA activist. incident happened when a spokesperson from organisation appeared on Tuesday's edition of show Good Morning Britain, a weekday morning programme in United Kingdom. 

Interview

PETA spokesperson suggested that term 'pet owner' is offensive too, as it implies that animals are a possession. PETA has long called for equal rights of animals and said that pet owners should be renamed 'human carers' or 'guardian'.

According to PETA, public should shift its way about how y refer to animals as it is first step to respecting m as equals. However, Piers Morgan wasn't having any of those as grilled spokesperson for suggesting idea, which he felt was absolutely bizarre. 

After confrontation went viral, Piers Morgan took to his official Twitter handle to mit that interview was best he h in 4-5 years. However, PETA issued a statement where it wrote that organisation stands by what spokesperson said on show.
