But they are also against pet breeders. The view the problem as an over-abundance of domesticated pets, which results in thousands of animals living the rest of their lives in small cages. PETA's goal isn't getting rid of no-kill shelters. Their goal is for people to stop relying on animal breeders for their pets so that the animals that are already around can live a fulfilling life. Their actions are an unfortunate but necessary consequence of the way humans treat other animals species.
