  1. Pets should be renamed 'companions', claim animal rights academics (and rats are just 'free living'):

     

    Animals should not be described as 'vermin', 'pests' or even 'pets', animal ethicists have decided.

     

    Academics say that traditional words used to characterise animals like 'beasts' and 'critters' are derogatory and should be replaced.

     

    They say words like 'pests' and 'vermin' should be dropped altogether, and 'pets' replaced by 'companion animals'
