"And I said, 'Well if you had a choice - if you and your wife were to die and your kids were still young, and you had a choice between your children being in foster care and potentially being physically and emotionally and sexually abused, as opposed to being adopted by a loving, healthy, caring lesbian or gay couple, what would you rather have?' "He couldn't really answer, and I said, 'Thank God Dad isn't here on this earth right now, because he would be so devastated and so horrified.'" Hilton & Spears Targeted By Animal Rights Writer....

Paris Hilton and Britney Spears have been targeted by the author of a new animal rights book - for their growing pet zoos.

Thanking the Monkey: Rethinking the Way We Treat Animals writer Karen Dawn accuses the former party pals of being awful role models to youngsters who dream of having pets - because they own too many.

Dawn tells the New York Post, "We've already seen Paris go through dogs faster than mojitos (cocktails), and I bet nobody warned Britney that California might soon force drivers to keep dogs safely restrained in vehicles - like babies.

"An impulse purchase of a companion for the next 15 years? ... Nobody expects them to have the dogs much longer than 15 months".

Spears has a small collection of chihuahuas which no one seems to see anymore and Hilton recently boasted of breaking California's dog ownership laws by taking in seven pets.

The socialite also owns a ferret and an exotic kinkajou among the menageries she keeps at her Hollywood home.
