Imagine this, you're walking through the supermarket and as you turn down the next aisle, you spot a dog. You squeal the word "puppy" and walk up to the dog and pet it.

It's controversial, especially since it has been called out for euthanizing animals PETA was supposed to save - even when they were perfectly healthy.
