Trent Reznor is torturing his cat to death.

I saw a video today of Trent Reznor ( of Nine Inch Nails) speaking on behalf of PETA against the fur trade. Later I looked at a bio of Trent Reznor and wondered if he knew their views on household pets.

"Pets: Female Golden Labrador Retriever 'Emmy Lou' Female Weimariner 'Daisy'
He has a dog named Daisy May, (this is actually the second one named Daisy; the first one jumped off from a balcony during The Downward Spiral Tour) and another dog named Ethyl. After daisy died, Trent sat in his trailor and would not come out for 3 days. :'(

Trent is allergic to cats and pollen, yet has a cat named Fuckchop."

...direct from PETA's own website,

"We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes but...this selfish desire to possess animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering, which results from manipulating their breeding, selling or giving them away casually, and depriving them of the opportunity to engage in their natural behavior. They are restricted to human homes, where they must obey commands and can only eat, drink, and even urinate when humans allow them to."
Further on they state, "Please keep cats safe indoors...free-roaming cats defecate in gardens and sandboxes and eat plants on other people's property. Angry, exasperated neighbors frequently take matters into their own hands. PETA's office routinely gets calls from people whose cats have been stolen, shot, poisoned, or tortured to death."
By their own logic
Statement: "We at PETA very much love the animal companions who share our homes"
Statement: "receiving love from them causes immeasurable suffering"
Statement: "Please keep cats safe indoors...cats have been stolen, shot, poisoned, or tortured to death."

So, they don't believe in killing cats or, as I learned also from their website, setting them free. They concede this causes the cat "immeasurable suffering".
Therefore, could it not be said, all cats loved in the homes of PETA supporters are being "tortured to death"?
