Fresh off a victory over SeaWorld and its controversial orca program, animal rights groups are zeroing in on zoos, aquariums and circuses -- and one prominent expert warns your dog and cat could be next.

A well-funded coalition of nonprofits finally broke SeaWorld, when the theme park chain announced in March it would phase out its popular killer whale program. Now the groups smell blood in the water – and on land.

“The tide is turning against SeaWorld and other aquariums and zoos,” Ashley Bryne, a campaign specialist at PETA, told FoxNews.com. “I think this is a sign of what’s to come.”

    “Animal rights activists believe all animals, including your dog or cat, should have the same rights as people and be free; therefore they shouldn’t be in human care under any circumstances.”

Another major goal for these PETA types, coming for Zoos and our pets.

They come for my cats and my dog will eat them. The cats are her babies and she is very protective of them.

If I ran SeaWorld I woulda just told them to go to hell and be done with it.

Me too. Then again many things these days I would have told them all along to go to hell. One of my best memories was when my Dad came to visit me in Cali. He took Mom and I to Seaworld. Shamu  jumped out of the water and splashed down....the whole front row got drenched with water....I can still hear him laugh. Yep go to hell is the perfect answer for them

Nah.  They've been going after rodeos for years and have had NO impact.
You'd think they could force a sport that ropes calves by the neck and ties their legs, throws steers down by the neck, and spurs horses and bulls to change.  But they can't. 

So I wouldn't worry about zoos and aquariums.

Well most cowboys and cowgirls carry guns and are not afraid to use them.
