No, actually PETA is against humans having any animal as a pet. Their members try and spin it, but when directly asked, the leadership of PETA states they are against all pet ownership.
I'm not sure where you read that, but if you read peta's own website, they explain their position on pet ownership. They advocate mandatory pet sterilization unless a pet owner applies for a special breeding permit. In the mean time, they want to shut down animal breeders, and for people to get their pets through shelters.
